Regain milk supple
Hi,
Can anyone help me please?
I’ve been breast feeding, my baby is now 5 months old. We recently went to Cyprus and while out there I was put on antibiotics which weren’t suitable for breastfeeding.
This has resulted in my milk drying up a lot. I’m desperate to start my feeding journey again and have started pumping and trying the breast feed.
Does anyone have any tips on how to get my supply back asap?
Thanks in advance x

Just keep doing skin to skin and putting baby on breast very regularly. Also caraway seed tea and ladys mantle tea is great support to increase milk supply. Hope you get it back soon ❤️
Power pumping twice a day, coconut water, chamomile tea has always worked for me
My midwife recommended Fenugreek supplement. It can be purchased from a health food store or online! xxx
Keep doing skin to skin, stay hydrated, and power pumping. I’d be wary of taking any supplements as they can often have the opposite effect. Breastfeeding works on supply and demand, so just keep putting baby to the breast as much as possible.

What antibiotics? Do you mean you stopped feeding baby whilst taking the antibiotics or that your supply decreased because of it?
