    i Hvae been told by a lactation consultant that taking fenugreek tablets 3 3 times a day would help me increase my milk supply initially i was producing alot more milk i have been expressing milk for 3 months now and my milk supply is decreasing which makes me stressed which doesnt help my milk supply.I work at the daycare centre my daughter goes to and would like to nurse at work which my boss and coworkers are all for although she would rather have a bottle.My general rule of thumb (aside from work)if im there she doesnt need to eat a bottle she can nurse which i am doing exclusivley when she isnt at daycare.I have invested in a double pump backpack and am pumping in the morning and after work and after my daughter goes to bed.some days im getting four bottles some days less (some times im only getting 1-2 oz after pumping for half an hour -an hour.)I have been taking fenugreek tablets (3 tablets threee times a day) and have not noticed a difference in my milk supply increasing) I have heard about more milk plus tablets and am interrested to hear if anyone has heard of them and if they work at all.My daughter is going to be nine months old this weekend and need to ask if anyone has any suggestions about increasing milk supply as i would like to continue to express milk and nurse until she is at least a year old.PHysically there is no reason why she cant nurse and bottle feed(with expressed milk)I have had people tell me to try her on formula which i dont feel is nessecary.Any suggestions on how to increase milk supplY?i have read about expressing milk at work (there is no real place for me to do this and the daycare cenre i work at is quite busy so this is not an option at this point .I dont want to put her on formula unless absolutley nessecary .

    http://www.breastfeedingonline.com/24pdf.pdf this article talks about fenugreek and blessed thistle combined. I use more milk plus tincture that has both of these herbs. i have chronic low supply so it helps me keep what little I have. You can get it at health food store, but it is cheaper at amazon.
