In theory, the more you feed, the more your supply will increase so you don't really have to do anything. I have been told that various things help your supply but not sure if they're true: porridge oats, fennel or nettle tea, glucose, horlicks (?!)

Good luck x

If you can try and get out of the habit of giving her the expressed milk, your supply will increase to meet the demand created by your baby. x

I take brewers yeast tabs but apparently fenugreek is good so is raspberry leaf but to be honest the best thing is lots of water and expressing on an empty boob. Its meant to take 24-48 hours to increase a supply but in my experince its more like 7 days!

My baby is tube fed but i'm expressing milk for her. Yesterday i started taking some tablets from the doctor called domperidone and also fenugreek tablets.
You could carry on expressing but freeze the milk for future use.
