It's a tincture that you take with a little bit of juice and it helped increase milk production once nursing my daughter became more need based (vs. hormone driven in the first 3 months of her life). Good luck! I also did an extra pump before I went to sleep (another alternative to the 2am pump). Google "power pumping" it's a method to simulate a growth spurt in order to increase milk flow.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17520591878937945605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668460283955922895.post-82179620302294564992011-03-28T09:26:02.867-07:002011-03-28T09:26:02.867-07:00I would consider plotting the data on a log-log sc...I would consider plotting the data on a log-log scale.

After a while, your body gets used to the increased demand in the morning and starts producing more overnight. The other nice thing - you don't have to wait for letdown; since baby has already fed, milk is flowing. Takes a few weeks to get production up (and sometimes can be uncomfortable in the morning), but that allowed me to bank the extra from the morning and pump less at work.Shannonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668460283955922895.post-4306998952249663872011-03-27T17:51:13.423-07:002011-03-27T17:51:13.423-07:00A few thoughts on the pumping thing (not that I ha...A few thoughts on the pumping thing (not that I have credentials besides having kids!)<br /><br />1. The only way I could make enough for my kids was to get up at 2 in the morning to pump every night once they started sleeping through. It sucked.<br /><br />2. Will Offspring, I rented a hospital-grade pump. With Bun, I bought a cheap one at the kids consignment store. The rented one extracted very significantly more milk (2x3 times as much)<br /><br />3. Bun was a HUGE baby and had big needs at first. Fenugreek worked for me. There's a ton of opinions on galactalogues, and again, not a qualified expert, but my anecdotal experience suggests it worked. <br /><br />4. Pumping while working sucks mightily. I'm glad it's over, and you have my sympathy!<br /><br />That's what I've got!<br /><br />MPMommyProfhttp://mommyprof.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668460283955922895.post-74608921029736180022011-03-27T14:38:15.056-07:002011-03-27T14:38:15.056-07:00You are definitely a scientist.
