Hi guys, yet another PCOS person here. I had low milk supply with both my babies. DS was worse and he lost heaps of weight due to the lateness of my milk coming in. I have just finished BF him and am about to start up my metformin now. It was a constant struggle to keep up my breastmilk supply. I pretty much had to drink heaps, activite was a great drink, eating peanuts helped a little(old wives tale) and I went to a naturopath and got fenugreek and goats rue drops. They tasted AWFUL but it really did help with my supply.
Goodluck with BF, it may be hard but hopefully it will get better. I found we had some hard patches where formula top ups were required and then we were able to go back to full BF. As the dr said to me, just because I cant full time BF doesnt mean I have to go full time formula.
