Hi! Thank you for writing this article. Would you mind sharing where you found research on the link between hormones and breastfeeding? I’m wondering if the link is possibly to a drop in progesterone and not necessarily just menses.

@Debbye – Thanks a lot for you comments and advice! I’m already taking special teas with fennel to increase babies supply, also my diet is rich on carbs and proteins, although to be honest i’m being a bit careful lately as i have gained a lot of weight after baby delivery. i try to be at around 1800-2000 calories intake per day by taking care to have the variety of food from vegs to meats and carbs. But anyway. The good news is that the milk is back. I followed the advice in this website and took supplements of calcium with magnesium ( the vitamin I’m taking has the following Ca 500, Mg 250 and D3), and it looked it is working. Once again thanks a lot for the valuable information you are sharing, it is very useful and makes me feel part of normal people! 🙂

In reply to Niki. Hi @Niki - Thanks for writing, and hang in there! I too hope that everything returns quickly too! If you are not already, try more frequent feeds at this time, and talk with your doctor about plants, foods, and/or medicines that can help boost supply too. Per one of our Consultants, who is also a Lactation Specialist, some of the most commonly used over the counter things are: high quality fennel oil rubbed on the breast tissue after a feeding (keep off of the areola to avoid feeding too much to the baby), Fenugreek, Mother’s Milk Tea (follow the directions for brewing carefully), Moderate carbohydrate intake (low carb diets can decrease milk supply), and fiber supplements or a high-fiber diet. Please do speak to your healthcare provider before trying any of these or other things to increase milk supply, so you are sure that what you are wishing to try is a good fit for you, and good luck!
