Any advice on how to bring back my supply ?

Do you have any advice on how to bring back my supply?

I have 9 month old Twins, and older children and basically, was forced to give up before I wanted to.

I want to bring back my supply, I have a Tommee Tippee electric pump, shall I just pump?

How long do you pump for and how long should this process take?

Is there any herbal medication or suchlike that can help speed the process along?

Thanks :)

You should get a double electric pump (preferable a hospital grade pump).  Fenugreek is one supplement that helps as well as brewer's yeast.  You should pump for 15 to 20 minutes every 2 hours.  Skin to Skin contact may also help.

You may want to look into an herb called goat's rue (french lilac).  It worked for my low supply, but I had low supply from the get go.  this book was very informative http://www.makingmoremilk.com/  as was this web site  http://www.lowmilksupply.org/
