    Hello ladies

    my son is 4 months old. My milk supply has suddenly gone down . Its not at all sufficient for him now. Tried to feed him similac advance/enfamil . But looks like he has developed senditive to milk protein. He is having rashes as soon as he took 2ml of formula.

    i really badly want to breast feed him for 6 months atleast. I have been trying a lot to increase my bm. I am having lactation cookies,blessed thistle and fenugreek capsules. They worked fir a day but then again didnt help me after one day. Looks like my body is adapting to them and so they are not showing any effect.

    i have been eating a lot(bread,rice,nonveg,veggies).but i dont see any use.

    please please please help me.what should i do for increasing bm. Or should i accept the fAct that i wont be able to breastfeed him any longer.

    Try shatavari - zandu satavarex
    Methi - fenugreek sprouts
    Garlic if it suits your stomach

    1.Take plenty of fluids. Every hour or so have water, juice, buttermilk etc.
    2. Nurse on demand. Clear your schedule for the next day or so, go to your bedroom with your baby and just remain there with it. Make this your highest priority for next few days.

    These two things are what helped me when I faced this problem many many years ago. Dont worry. It will come back. I had tried fenugreek capsules first but it didnt work for me.

    Hi Sasi,

    Please take Lacteacare tablet. Its an ayurvedic preparation and absolutely safe. You can also take galact, mix it with milk and have it. Also have milk and white bread at least an hour before feeding. Increase your water intake. All these should help you. You need to wait at least for couple of weeks to see the result. Also the more you feed your son supply will improve.

    In the interim try switching over to a diff formula.

    I am just wondering.....have you started your periods again? Perhaps that is affecting.

    Many women like the Mother's Milk tea sold here in USA. You can get it in health stores and some supermarkets.

    Garlic and drumstick leaves are given to nursing mothers to increase milk supply.
