milk supply for desperate mommys

Aydonsmommy

Here's what I did. Now I'm gonna state first that this is not for everyone and you need to be informed of all the side affects first. So research it and talk to your Dr. This was only an option for me because it is something I already take periodically for my own health issues. I take 3 milk thistle and 3 fenugreek 3 times a day as stated by others. But I have added in Reglan per my OB. I take this 3 times a day b4 each meal. I went from maybe getting 1/2 an ounce total (my supply was steadily going down) to getting almost 3 ounces when pumping for 10-15 minutes each side after just 2 days. This morning has officially been one week of me being back on reglan and I woke up to soaked pads a soaked padded bra and a wet bed. That is huge for me!!!! so for all you desperate mommas maybe this could help you aswell.

Great! I have to tell this to on of my fb friends!!

Aydonsmommy

Glad I could help.

Yeah. Used it with my first and it was great. Be warned though, it makes you jittery and I become emotional... Worth a try though, the vitamins dint help me.

Aydonsmommy

I've been taking it off and on for years. Never had an issue so I'm lucky I guess.

myowndisaster23

Yeah. I hear they won't prescribe it for women with a history if depression or anxiety. I have panic attacks so I usually get them when I take it but it upped my supply to 2 oz a boob! Lol.

lae3

yeah .. thats awsome

Aydonsmommy

@myowndisaster23 really... I have have anxiety attacks and depression issues. It's never seemed to affect it. Guess ill pay more attention to it this time around though.

myowndisaster23

I might just be more sensitive to that side effect.

@salsabia Lmao

Aydonsmommy

@sapsabia - wow! That's why I say its not for every one. I guess I'm just one of the lucky ones that it doesn't affect like that. I have to take it for tummy issues so finding out it would help my supply was a major bonus!!!

headersue

I am calling my doctor about this now. How much Reglan do you take, like what is the dosage?

Aydonsmommy

10 mg 3 times a day.

I took it for morning sickness in the begining and it made me so jittery and I felt like I had restless legs and my head was floating off. It really was driving me crazy that I was kicking my legs uncontrollable people at work that I was.nuts.

Aydonsmommy

@jazzi89 I did the same thing your doing. Was gettin 3+ oz every time I'd pump then suddenly it started dropping. Now I soak myself every time my son even wimpers.
