has your mastits completely cleared and you definately have no blocked ducts or lumps there? If it has completely cleared and there are no blockages then i dont see why you cant take something to increase your supply.

Oats have been used for centuries to naturally increase breast milk supply. Also stimulate your breasts as often as humanly possible. By latching your LO on and also using the pump after each feed for extra stimulation - even if nothing comes out.
