ActiveMoms rkpsmommy - great news! I got all sorts of great info from my Twitter friends! I don't pump so can't be of any help but here is what my friends said:
* pump every 2 hrs with baby pic and blankie drink 8 oz water each time take Reglan use hospital grade pump
* 2.5 oz. isn't bad. Oatmeal, Mother's Milk tea, fenugreek, lots of water , no dieting!
* how old is baby? 5oz total is a lot if baby is small. Baby could be getting twice as much when nursing, pump=ineffective
* Try www.breastfeedingonline.com and search for fenugreek, there is a lot of info there. Good luck!
* Mother's Milk tea, more pumping, hydration, rest, tincture of fennel anise and fenugreek, Guinness, patience.
* fenugreek,water,water,water, relax.
* See LC, nurse more, fenugreek, relaxation, increase fluids, call LLL Helpline. Lots to try depending on her situation.
Wasn't that so nice of everyone? If you want, join Twitter and follow me BreastfedBabies and soon you'll have lots of new breastfeeding friends too! If you have any questions about Twitter - I'd love to help out. It is confusing at first but as you can see from the above - you can meet a lot of wonderful, helpful women!!!
Best,
Katrina
