Just wondering if anyone had tried Naturo Pharm Milk Flow to help increase milk supply? Or what other tips do people have to increase supply? |

| A teaspoon of Brewers yeast in my daily smoothy does the trick for me. Enough so I had to cut back on my daily consumption! Mixed frozen blue berries, natural unsweetened yohgurt, 1 banana, Tablespoon of LSA mix (ground Linseed,sunflower seed & Almond)and vanilla flavoured soy milk. |

| Thanks! Will def have to try Brewers yeast, my lil girl is 6months & I've just recently noticed my supply dropping off a bit & I want to keep breastfeeding til she's a year. So willing to try anything to keep supply up! :) |

Brewers yeast is good... also nuts and oats and bananas. Will say too though that your supply may not be dropping at all, your body gets more efficient at making the milk and unlike when they are newborns and it is stored before needed it is "made" as it is needed when they get older. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

| Thanks Bizzy, thats really interesting - I didnt know that about your body being more efficient at making milk therefore dont need to store it. |

| Yea I just assumed that it's been dropping off as she now sleeps through the whole night & when I wake up my boobs no longer ache like they use to if I went without feeding for so long |

Oh gawd no.. i just had a thought that if it still stored it overnight then i would never had fed my youngest till 3 LOL! Boobs and milk are the perfect example of supply and demand. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

What Bizzy said, your supply will be sorting it's self out. If you're worried pop her on the boob more during the day. I've got the milk flow here & yep it works. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">
