Will Fenugreek Cause Increase In Milk In Order To Breastfeed?
Hi ,I want to breast feed my baby.However,due to insufficult supply i have to put him on top feed.I have tried a lot of methods like eating fenugreek seeds and taking lepatden thrice a day as well.However , nothing has caused an increase in the milk supply.I want to stop the top feed for my baby and want to give him my milk.Need to know in case there is anything else which can actually increase breast milk supply.

Hello,
Breast milk supply can be increased as you feed the baby more and more. As the demand increases supply will also increase. You can also try occasional manual pumping.
Hope this answers your query
