Home Forums Induced Lactation aka Adoptive Breastfeeding Medical Interventions to Induce Lactation/Increase Milk Supply Up to 30 Ounces a Day!

Hi ladies,

Just wanted to update you on my progress so far and hopefully encourage some!

I have been pumping for 8 weeks now and am up to 30 ounces a day! I am pretty sure I am still increasing too! I am pumping every two hours during the day and twice at night. I am taking fenugreek and blessed thistle, 30 mg of dom four times a day, and drinking lots and lots of water. My supply has gradually been increasing every day!

Be encouraged ladies...it IS possible! Keep at it faithfully and don't give up. No matter what you produce it is wonderful to be able to give your baby a little piece of you via your breast milk.

Now, if we would only get matched with a baby soon so that I could put all this breast milk to good use! =)

Great job! Even when you are placed, the baby won't be drinking that much milk for at least a few weeks. I don't think my babies ever drank that much in a day.
