dragging the nursing sessions will not help to increase supply, with or without those supplements. u need to nurse your baby as often as you can, regardless of how your breasts feel, so that your body will get the 'message' that there is a lot of demand, and hence will naturally increase supply.
Hi alvingigi
It's a common myth that soft breasts mean no milk. After our milk supply stablizes in the first month, our breasts will seem soft but there's definitely still milk! I know it feels very different from the first 2 weeks when the milk first comes in and our breasts feel very hard. But trust me, there's sufficient milk in soft breasts too! Please continue to let your baby latch as often as needed and don't wait until you feel like exploding cause that means you're engorged already!
I heard that if baby has 6-8 diapers per day means has enough milk, so even my breast is soft my baby still has enough milk right? My baby needs to drink milk every 1-2 hour each times. Do I have to give her milk powder?I just afraid milk powder cause her astriction( she doesn't like to drink water or glucose)...

Ya, I think even ur breast is soft, it will got milk.. My gal drink milk(EBM) every 2hr when she was at her 2nd mths..
My gal is 3mths++ now... she started to take FM at her 1st mth (few days once and once a week now) so that she can used to FM if I got no milk in future..
I seldom feed my gal water as well cox doc said EBM = water, but nanny feed her water frequently esp hot weather and she did take some water now.. mayb u can mix with some gripe water and try to feed her, and start from there, day by day feed bit bit water..
So, does it mean I have enough milk for my baby?no need to add milk powder? When I breastfeed my baby( I breast is soft), my baby keep sucking,does it mean there is enough milk , so baby willing to suck? If there is no milk, baby will not suck?

If ur baby didn't cry after latch on, and ur baby pee a lot, then mean ur baby have enough milk, no nd to add milk powder., but u can buy and standby.. tis wat I did..
For me, normally I will try to use my hand to press the breast to see whether got milk come out o not after baby let go nipple herself and sleep (let go themselves at least after 15min, sometime they let go due to they fall in sleep and got to wake them up to continue suck), if got, mean got milk for her, and since she no cry, then mean enough milk.. I think when there is no milk and when baby is hungry, sure will cry out instead of keep sucking..
Thanks lovelyo315
I have tried fenugreek and droidone, both didn't work for me, it worried me a lot. My baby pee at least 6-8times per day, I press my breast after she goes nipple , there still have milk comes out. From what you say, I think I have enough milk for her even my breast is soft.

Don't need to supplement or your baby may not drink enough from you and your milk supply will drop.
