Back very quickly......

You can get Fenugreek from health food shops, but not all of them will have the 1000mg capsules. I can't remember what the brand is, but the bottle has a dark green lid. I think you can take it with Maxalon, you certainly can with Motilium.

TBH, I would only give the Maxalon 7-10 days before ditching and trying Motilium. Even that will take a little while. I expected an immediate difference, but it took a couple of weeks.

I really, really wish I had not been so hell bent about expressing and simply put DS to the breast more often. He wasn't up to it in the early days, but later on I could have. How many feeds is Ava having? I know you know that the more she has, the better it is for your supply.

Something that is good for your supply is feeding at night. Lots of feeds overnight. I don't mean to kill yourself sitting up and feeding all night, but getting 3 or so feeds in is great. Something that is GREAT for your supply is co sleeping, feeding lying down in bed. It has the added benefit that you get more sleep too Nobody actually told me that, and we didn't co sleep for months. Once we did I couldn't believe the difference in my supply! Of all the things I did to increase my supply, that was the thing that worked the best BY FAR. You really just need to rely on good old hormones to do the job for you, but sometimes they need a little bit of help And the night time snuggles are lovely I would guess that between co sleeping and frequent feeds, your supply will be rocking in no time.

BUT......obviously you know best what's going on in your home, and you have your LC who is the expert. If none of these suggestions sound right to you - then don't try them. Or check with your LC. You need to choose very carefully who you take your advice from, and make sure it's right for you and Ava. (I'm sure you are already, just thought I'd mention it ).

Let us know how things are going.......
