how much do you take and how often?

trying to increase my supply. my baby takes expressed milk for 3 or 4 of his feeds a day because im working, he drinks 5oz per a bottle, so i need to express at LEAST 20oz but ideally more so i can start to build a suppyl for when he starts drinking more then 5 oz.

currently im pumping about 6-10oz a day. Im pumping every 2 hours and not getting more :(

Im hoping fenugreek can help. i dont like oatmeal so that dosnt work for me, but other suggestions i'll consider.
 
I used the 610 mg capsules, and I took 2 to 3 of them 3x a day. Basically, you need to take enough to start smelling like maple syrup. It only took a few days, and I noticed a jump in my supply. I took them for about 2 weeks. The biggest thing you need to make sure to do (besides drink lots of water!) is to completely empty yourself every time you pump or feed LO, or it won't be as effective.

I know a lot of people say to combine taking the fenugreek with blessed thistle for best results. I didn't, but I heard it helps!
