Hi
I'd appreciate some advice on what to eat to ensure I have a good milk supply - I've a history and not having enough milk for the dc's and want to ensure that I'm eating right this time.
Specifically, I was anaemic prior to her birth and my iron tablets have just run out ( 3 weeks later) - should I be asking for more or does this not affect milk?
Thank you!

Thanks - I've had the very wierd sensation of overfull boobs today, unheard of for me and and I was begging her to feed, so maybe there is hope. And she didn;t drink all her top up this evening..... However had the latch from hell which caused a few problems but going to see the bf consellors tomorrow so should hopefully get that solved.
Onwards and upwards!
