Hi,
During my confinement, my CL double boiled ayam kampung soup for me. It is supposed to help to increase the milk supply.
Also, young papaya soup helps as well. Cook with ikan bilis and kei-chi. My MIL will always cook whenever I complained that my supply is down.
I also take milkmaid tea, which is available at fabulousmom, the baby loft.
My latest resort is to get medication - I went to Dr Koe in Old Klang Road. She is a Paed cum lactation consultant. THe medication is called Moridone. Her clinis is always packed. Just go to nurse and asked for medication to increase milk. No need to que.
I managed to BF my son till 10 mths old, and now my daughter is 7.5 mths on BM. I am hoping to BF at least until she is 12mths, and praying that I have enough supply.
Just want to share my experience. I am still breastfeeding my 5 months old baby. So far my milk is more than enough for my baby. I have drank papaya soup several times and also i have been drinking red dates water every other day. According to my confinement lady, I was told tht nursing mother needs to continue taking red dates water and other nourishing things to help restore all the goodness we have given through nursing or else we will age easily.
Hi,
Well, i feel it is how often you pump ? i encoutered low and high production within my 14 months, and noticed if you really make it by pumping frequent enough (once oc*ssion I pumped 6-8 times a day), u will see the result after few weeks....persistent is the word i guess...
I am letting go some my breastfeeding stuff after breastfed my bb for 14 months, send me email and I will reply the list to you , my email lyksell@yahoo.com .
when breastfeeding exclusively, the milk production will continue. it's only when mixing start (feeding both BM & other milk) that the body detect reduce of need for more milk, thus decrease in production. |

Thanks for the advise. My 4.5 mths old daughter doesn't like to drink milk. She will latch to the breast and drink 2 to 3 sip and she'll start to cry. Even if she was bottled fed, the most she'll drink is 1 oz. We have to spoon feed the balance of 2oz. Very stressful...........
wy1913,
I think your girl is having a nursing strike, not that your milk is not sufficient. My eldest girl was like that when she has her nursing strike at 3 mths old then.
Milkmaid tea does help me with my milk supply but i think having enough rest, sufficient liquid (esp hot drinks) and enough food is very important in order to increasing your supply. The most crucial point is RELAX and believe that you have enough milk for your girl after doing the above mentioned. |

How do you guys increase BM? quest:
I agree with all the suggestions given here. I just need to add a little bit.
When you want to breastfeed, try to relax. I foud that when I am stressful, my bb won't drink much and my supply is low. It seems that bb can sense that we are stressful. So, try to be more relax.
When you need to nurse your bb, go into your room where there are no disturbance and you and your bb are alone. Both of you will feel more confortable and relax.
You also should eat more and don't starve yourself. Eat whenever you feel hungry. Your supply will go up when you have a full tummy. You must also drink lots of liquid especialy hot and warm drinks.
FYI, I am still breastfeeding my son who is 2 years old now. I am enjoying everybit of it as I do not know when he wants to wean.
Good luck to you. 
Cheers,

I exclusively breastfeed my baby of 3 mths old. But sometime... sometimes... i pump the milk n give thru bottle. But lately i noticed that my milk is getting lesser. Ive tried halba// longan/ red dates to increase milk supply. Sometimes it works sometimes dont. Shud i increase my pumping session to increase the supply ?
Yes, you should increase your frequency in pumping. Make sure you dont miss one session until your supply is established.
Just need to drink lots of fluids/soup and plenty plenty of rest, whenever u can to increase your BM.
Cheers! |

My way to increase BM is On working day, after bath and dinner, take baby together to bed as early as possible. Just nurse, sleep and drink plenty of water. if possible, pump after feeding.
On weekend, also same, eat and drink well, nurse and sleep whenever possible. No bottle, no teats, no paccifier.

I bottle feed my BB as well as my BB is also unable to latch on. Thus, my supply is very little... However, eversince I started dirnking soya bean milk, it did increase a little. I have a friend who tried the Fenugreek from GNC but it didnt work for her. I understand from a doctor friend of mine that it will work for some while may not for others.... Soya bean milk to me is a cheaper option....
But I believe most importantly is the frequency of your pumping. Initially I only pumped like 3 times a day thus it reduced dramatically and I've regretted every single sec abt it thus have now increase my session to 5 times a day.....
One word of advise "Dont ever give up!!" |

Hi,
you need to let your baby latch more on the breast. Besides, you have to take nutrition food and drink more soup. I take Elken Spirulina and Dr. Xeniji as supplement as well. I manage to breastfeed my baby until 8 mths.
Cheers!

Another reason I could think of is because your baby may not like the bottle teat. Try changing to a softer type instead and see if she takes it better.
Please do try to express your breast milk using breast pumps and bottle feed it to your baby. It is just as good as feeding it direct from the breast. Do read up my topic on exclusive breast pumping and research more on this topic on your own to find out more information, before it is too late! |

you can try put warm towel on your breast when you breastfeed her. the warm towel will help the milk flow. |

Milkmaid tea I think does work. But I like the GNC tablets more as it is more convenient. Actually, I feel the tea works better whereas a friend say the tea works better.
Also a cheaper way to get fenugreek is just to get it at your grocers and cook some tea out of it. It's name in malay is Halba.

You can buy Fenugreek supplement from GNC. It is specifically used to increase BM. Comes in capsules. My SIL breastfed till all the children turned 2 years old.
You may also do a google on Fenugreek to understand what the ingredients are. |
