Hello mummies.. can you share me what is your milk booster? I have been tried for the past 2 months and seems only fenugreek works a little bit for me and I have a twins bb to feed now so breast milk is soooo important for me ๐ท:(
Gina Mei-Keng Yong How much fenugreek are you taking.
Jess Yeong Gina Mei-Keng Yong only every Friday, Saturday & Sunday (weekly) 3 times a day (each time 2).. is this routine correct?
Gina Mei-Keng Yong Jess Yeong no, salah
The effective dosage of fenugreek to increase breastmilk supply is 3 capsules 3 times a day. Most mommies see results within 1 - 3 days. If after 3 days there does not seem like much improvement, then increase to 5 capsules 3 times a day. Many mommies see results only after 2 โ 4 weeks of consistent usage.
I would also like to remind you that you do have to consistently stimulate your breast by either direct feeding your baby or pumping frequently. Never go more than 4 hours without removing milk from your breast. And when trying to increase supply, you should also DL/pump at around 3 am. This is because 12am to 5am is the time that the hormone prolactin is secreted the most. Prolactin is the hormone responsible for more milk production the next day.
Once your supply has increased to your satisfaction (ie 3 - 5oz every 3 - 4 hourly), you can try to reduce the dosage slowly and eventually stop. But some mommies find that their supply also reduce when they stop fenugreek, so they continue to take for as long as they are breastfeeding. It's safe to take fenugreek long term.
Try Nature's Love fenugreek.
Jess Yeong Gina Mei-Keng Yong I'm actually 2 hours can get 2.5-3oz already but I have 2 bb (2 MO) so now I only can fully feed them on day time and they're increasing their milk intake week by week.. It's really stress!
Gina Mei-Keng Yong Jess Yeong try the right dosage then, and see if got improvement
Jess Yeong Sure thanks ๐ท:)
