How Do I Increase and Sustain My Milk Supply?

What can you do to sustain your milk and even increase your supply?

• keep WELL hydrated! this is oftentimes the cause for a decrease in production for me
• pump often - figure out your schedule to keep the appropriate amount of milk on hand and stick to it
• pump longer in the morning, when your production is at its peak
• use compression methods while you pump (see previous post for "hands-on pumping" video)
• relax! stress is the other factor that leads to decreased production for me

I can't recommend Mother's Milk tea or other herbal remedies because I haven't used them. I would advise exhausting all other options before introducing any supplements.
