How to Keep a Good Milk Supply while Nursing

I have been asked several times to write about how you can keep a good milk supply for your baby without needing to supplement with formula, when you're nursing.

What did / do you do to keep up a good milk supply if you chose to nurse?

I applied for a campaign with Mom Select with Premama Lactation drink mix, and being as I'm a breastfeeding mother to our 3 1/2 month old I thought this would be a good product to help me make a freezer "stash" of my milk for him, since he gets one bottle of pumped milk at night. I love shopping at CVS, so I jumped at this opportunity!

Review:
Below, is the picture of the drink mixes I received. There's one missing of the Lactation as I was drinking with it in my water bottle. The flavor of these that I received and bought is berry, which tastes a bit strange but it's okay. It has a stronger flavor to it than I am use to with berry. This product is great for nursing moms, moms who pump for work, or just moms that exclusively pump for their babies. You must mix this in a bottle of water that's 12 oz or more, and shake it until it's well blended. This is only meant to be drank once a day per packet.

This product has Propietary blend in it that are specifically great for milk supply and include: 
- Fenugreek Seed
- Blessed Thistle PE 4:1
- Fennel Seed (Foeniculum Vulgare)
- Red Raspberry Leaf Powder





Below, is the picture of the 28 count box of Lactation drink mix from Premama that I bought. I am not too fond of the flavor, even though I love berry but I drink it because it's good for helping your milk supply, and it truly is! I have drank 1 drink mix a day for a week almost now and have pumped 3 - 4 times a day (I usually only pump once a day), due to being engorged from milk supply increase, and so far I have eight pouches of my milk in 8 oz in the freezer stored, which totals 63 oz in a week. I highly recommend this product to moms who are nursing, and they also sell Fertility drink mix that can help your fertility increase. 


How to Boost your Milk Supply for Breastfeeding

I never had a issue with milk supply with our kids, but I also never nursed them either. When our third was born, I had and have a great supply for breastfeeding, but not AS much for pumping. But, I found a solution for that by drinking Gatorade!
