Other than medications, remind me of the various way one can increase one's milk supply. Links are great, too!

Thanks!

The Germans say that dark beer helps. Something about the hops and the brewer's yeast. I drink one a day, with food.

Also, Fenugreek, and making sure you are well hydrated.

B Vitamins are the best way I have found. Stress depletes your b's.

because oats are healing to the gut, and supply problems are ultimately gut problems.

hops work too, but really when used in herb form.

optimizing your nutrition and healing yourself are the best ways to go! nak.
