Just wanted to thank all the mamas who replied to me about my low supply troubles. I took the suggestions and my milk is back up. :D

I stopped giving bottles (though did offer some water in a cup a couple times), and nursed pretty much most of the night for a couple of nights straight.

I stopped taking the allergy medicine - using saline nasel mist instead to clear my nose, have been taking fenugreek tablets, have mothers milk tea on the way - but found a tea with fennel in it for now and I've been drinking extra water besides. I've been doing marshmallow root infusions - which was suggested by the lady at the health food store.

I am glad things are going better. You are such a great mom for persevering. I didn't see your original post - if I had, I would have gladly offered to send you some Mother's Milk tea. If you need more, please PM me.

Great work, mama! :D

Great! I used to eat plenty of oatmeal too! It really helps to boost the supply.
