Milk Supplement

Hi all, when do you start taking supplements to enhance breastmilk? (ie, lactation cookies, smoothies....)

Anytime you want:) but understand that the milk supply builds up gradually, so don’t stress out about it. I actually didn’t take any supplements at all. Drinking lots of fluids (3L/day) and eating well are what I try to do.. and my supply’s been enough for baby, with a decent milk store in the freezer.

When my breast milk kicked in late and not enough for baby. If your supply is ok, there's no need for supplement
