And fenugreek works best when the breast is fully drained, so perhaps have him spend less time on the breast you don't want to increase the size of OR pump a few minutes on the side you want to increase the size of.<br /><br />And, this time around, I learned that you don't have to KEEP taking fenugreek (wish I'd know that last time!!). Just taking it until you get that maple syrup smell will get you the desired effect. I took it for three days this time and discontinued taking it, but milk production seemed to stay higher. <br /><br />http://www.babycenter.com/404_can-the-herb-fenugreek-increase-a-moms-milk-supply_8880.bcKatiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08961948894847619115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315722043122184468.post-6975965830270843872010-08-18T18:04:45.593-07:002010-08-18T18:04:45.593-07:00I had the same problem with Sweetness.

Once I weaned her and they both shriveled up into little raisins they were the same size. I'm sure it'll happen again this time around, they already gained their pregnant weight un-evenly.<br /><br />Good luck and post if any of those other tricks work, I might give them a try next go aroundMeghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12825803955705904174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315722043122184468.post-7952399602153856962010-08-18T17:30:50.419-07:002010-08-18T17:30:50.419-07:00I would talk to a lactation consultant about it fo...I would talk to a lactation consultant about it for sure, but you might try mother's milk tea. One of my chi-chi's fluctuates quite a bit, and my nursing guru said to try the tea if it drops significantly. I managed to even it out by feeding Oz a bottle for two feedings and not pumping. Then I was so full on both sides, he nursed equally on both, and it sort of "reset" my production. I'm totally even now!!Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00044168361255867637noreply@blogger.com
