So, I have settled upon the idea that I am in general a low
milk producer. When I breastfed my first
son, I really didn’t know this about myself until it was too late. I could not
produce enough milk for my son the traditional way or through pumping. I
learned about More Milk Plus around 2 months into breastfeeding but by then I
just could not keep up with my son’s demand for milk. With my second son, I had a great game plan
and I already knew about supplements like fenugreek seeds and More Milk Plus
and different teas to drink to help boost supply but I was hoping that I didn’t
need to use these tactics.
The second time around, I didn’t need to use any supplements
until I started trying to pump milk for my son before I was getting ready to
return to work. I wanted to create a good supply to stash away. This is where
the supplements came into play. I couldn’t seem to pump out the same amount of
milk that my son seemed to drink. Pumping just wasn’t pulling all the milk and
I wasn’t emptying my breasts through pumping. I needed help so I turned to my
old friend Motherlove and bought the More Milk Plus pills which I took 4 times
a day. I also purchased the More Milk Special Blend in the liquid form because
I had heard good reviews from others of how it worked better than More Milk
Plus.
More Milk Plus increased my output through pumping in a matter
of days, two days to be exact. Before MMP when pumping I would get out about
one ounce from each breast for a total of 2 ounces each time I pumped. With the
MMP in my system, I was able to pump 2 ounces from each breast for a total of 4
ounces and some days when I ate well with oatmeal and drank lots of water I
could pump 2.5 from each breast for a 5-ounce total which I was really excited
about. You can’t drink a lot of water with the MMP pills, only about an ounce
of water, but when 30 minutes later you can return to drinking as much as you
want. More Milk Plus was reliable for me and I didn’t have any side effects
with me or baby.
When my bottle of More Milk Plus ran out, I decided to try
the More Milk Special Blend. Unfortunately, the More Milk Special Blend did not
work for me at all. First, the taste is extremely bitter and I felt thirsty all
day after taking it. Lastly, my milk supply did not increase at all. I gave it
a whole week before giving it up and returning to the More Milk Plus. I know
that some people tried using both together, which I did not try.
In my opinion, Motherlove’s More Milk Plus is the true
winner and very reliable way to increase milk supply. Overall, I can see an
increase in my supply when I eat more fiber rich foods and make sure I have a
piece a fruit and lots of water. I even started to drink Ensure to make sure I
got in the extra calories, but I can really see a difference when I increase my
water intake. I purchased both of these products on Amazon and was happy with
the shipping and quality of products overall.
