Hello,

My name is Nancy. I live in Canada & I have a 10 wk old baby boy.
 I came across this list while dsoing a search to increase my breast milk 
supply. I am hoping that I might be able to get some muxh needed help from 
other moms.
What I have found that has happened to me is my Dr put me on the Evra 
birthcontrol patch as he knew that I was breast feeding & he has been a 
great supporter of my breastfeeding. The problem is that with in a week I 
noticed that my milk supply was dropping. I thought that maybe it was 
because I was bartending some private parties for Christmas @ the very most 
2x's per week. During the hours I worked, my husband woulkd bring in my son 
so that iI could feed him. It was not until later that I realized that it was in 
fact the birth control that my Dr put me on that was wreaking havoc on my 
supply. Since then I have gone to the health food store & started taking 
breastfeeding tea, brewer's yeast & blssed thistle. It appeared to keep my 
supply around but not increasing it at all. I went to my Dr & informed him of 
everything that I did to increase the supply, etc. So he changed my bc, & put 
me on donperidone to increase my supply. Thing of it is, I have quite  a bit of 
a supply for my son in the morning, but it seems to disipate by noon & he 
screeches with hunger pangs by afternoon /evening. I have been feeding him 
as often as he is willing to nurse & pumping in between. I am wondering if any 
of you may be able to help me out here. I enjoy the time that my son & I 
spend together when I feed him & I hate the idea of loosing out on the special 
time that we spend together when he feeds. Any & all help would be greatly 
appreciated. Thankyou.
