Breastfeeding during pregnancy and losing milk... HELP :(

My son is 18 months old, and we have recently found out I am pregnant. I am about 5 weeks pregnant or so, and my supply is already starting to plummet. What can I do to keep it up? What can I take? Is Fenugreek safe for pregnancy?

Same thing happened to me. I got pg with DS2 when DS1 was only 8 months old. My supply plummeted at about 6 weeks and I always produced and abudance of milk. I tried Mothers milk tea from Traditional Medicinals it helped for a little while but soon the milk was gone. Wish i had a better answer but maybe you will have better luck with the Mothers milk tea.

fenugreek is a uterine stimulant so it is not advised- at least not unless somethign has changed in the past couple of yrs.

 

motherlove make a tincture called more milk too (iirc) that contains no fenugreek but has other galactogogues and is supposed to be safe for pregnancy.
