How to boost pumped breast milk quantity?

Hi,

I'm a working adult. My baby is 3 months old now. Before I came back
to work 4 weeks ago, I can pump around 180ml to 200 ml per day in total
(pumped twice in office). However, recently, due to heavy work load and
didn't pump, now become around 140ml in total.

What should I do to boost up the quantity? I suppose I need to stick
to the time, i.e. pump at 12pm and 4pm and don't change? Any food to
increase breast milk quantity? Any other tips? My baby doesn't really
latch on.

Hi Mummy,

Our local Maternal and Child health nurse advised earlier in the week that
Fenugreek is really really good for this. You buy it from your local health
food store.

You need to buy the 1000mg tablets and take 6 per day until your happy with
your supply and then drop down to 3 per day.

The Health food store assistant also swore by this product and had used the
product herself.

Hope this helps,
TRIMAC
