There is no need to me to add to what Nina wrote, other than to confirm that
I increased my supply substantially, overnight, in the early months of my
second pregnancy, by intensive breastfeeding (about hourly). It never
occurred to that I couldn't. Several years later someone who knew my kids
and their ages pointed out that I would have been pregnant at the time. I
hadn't even thought of that at the time.

Please note, this was purely from stimulation through direct breastfeeding.
No galactogogues, no medications, no herbal drugs. Just stimulation through
frequent draining of the breast. Months before, I'd relactated with the same
baby - also with no galactogogues, no medications, no herbal drugs.

Many mothers breastfeed frequently throughout pregnancy and beyond.  Unless
the mother's medical advisor has advised that she avoid sex, there is no
reason to avoid breastfeeding (or expressing).  Virginia Thorley has some
personal experience of increasing breastmilk supply very quickly and very
intensely while pregnant and in a very stressful life-threatening situation.

I have worked with mothers to initiate a full breastmilk supply capable of
sustaining an infant on that breastmilk alone....
