Thank you for the information
One of the best ways to stimulate milk production is a regular breastfeeding schedule. Since your schedule and your baby's may not match all the time, I would suggest pumping at regular intervals.
i would suggest that fenugreek, a natural health product, could possibly help with milk production. Be aware that there are not many studies on this but as a natural health product, it is safe and worth a try. Ask your pharmacist for more details on recommended doses and dosages
If necessary, you can also consult your local CLSC or FMG to obtain the advice of a nurse specialized in breastfeeding. Finally, if the situation requires it, your doctor may consider other options with you. I hope I have answered your questions adequately, but please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions!
