i amazed myself tonight. I have been taking motherloves special blend tincture and feel a big difference in supply also dd2 is now gaining weight good style! so, tonight after feeding for nearly 1 hour and ending up with saggy empty sacks for boobs! i decided to get my double pump out for a try... and to my surprise i maaged to express 6.5oz total from what ithought were empty breasts. been eating the good old porridge too ;}

i totally beleive that low milk supply really is partly psychological as even though dd is now gaining weight and is very contented for 3-4hours after feeds and i managed to express so much - i still sometimes think i dont have enough milk. paranoia all round with bfing

Wow! That's amazing. Well done .

I've been having a huge bowl of porrige every morning thanks to your advice, don't know if it makes a difference but I'm not stopping to find out!

What's the motherlove tinctures/ Where can I get some? I want to build up a bit if a supply of ebm in the freezer but can't find much time to express when ds2 isn't imminently due a feed. They sound like just the thing for a quick burst, perhaps.

Drat, got to go, can hear ds2 rustling.
