What do  you recommend to a mom with low supply as a galactagogue besides 
pumping and  frequent feeding?


While pumping and/or effective feeding are not galactogogues (   substances 
that increases milk supply), they should increase supply, yes. If you  are 
looking for any behavioral thing that can increase supply, have the mom try  
true skin-to-skin contact for as many hours as feasible. Stroking the baby, 
 holding the baby skin-to-skin, playing with the baby's hair and feet, can  
release hormones that looking at the baby, or holding the baby while 
everyone is  fully clothed, may not.
