Galactagogues. Do they work?

[Northernmama123]

So I'm 3 weeks into relactating for my 4 month old and I've been reading about ways to increase my milk supply.
Has anyone used galactagogues and did they work for you?
I had quite a stressful event occur around 2 months postpartum which caused my milk to dry up and Im exclusively pumping now so I'm open to any ideas :)

Not heard of them sorry @Northernmama123

Have you tried asking in the infant feeding section?

No. I didn’t know there was one. Thanks

It's under "Feed the World" 

Are you getting any RL Support too @Northernmama123?

Thanks. I’ve had some advice from a friend who’s a nurse and I’m in a few groups. I have been thinking of speaking to my GP but not sure if they can help?

I'd try and seek some specialist BFing advice. Sadly GPs don't have any training in infant feeding so they aren't usually able to support you with relactation or BFing at all.

Is there a La Leche League near to you. They are usually good at offering information and support.

Just had a look. Will definitely attend my local meetings. Thanks so much for recommending

There might be some other BFing Groups near to you and have you tried calling one of the BFing Support Helplines? They will be able to offer information abs support and they may be able to put you in touch with a local BFC.

Thanks, I'm in Manchester and I've just looked. There's loads so I'll get in touch :)

How are you both getting on now @Northernmama123?

I have a call set up with my local La Leche leader today. My milk has also increased since taking the Galactogil. Thanks for your help

That's such positive news. Sounds like you're doing brilliantly.
