I will be looking for Guinness to help me with my milk.

Take your time, relax into it, increase you use of lactogenic foods and herbs, add in your pumping again, take a calcium/magnesium supplement pre-menstruation. This is all described in my book, and you can find peer support at mobi on yahoogroups, and other sources online.<br /><br />Your baby will soon be eating more so that a reduced supply will suffice to meet his needs.

The idea is to take it after pumping or breastfeeding in the evening, wait a few hours, feed a bit at night as needed. The major effect should be seen the next day, from what I've been told. Good luck.

You will surely have your own traditional herbs that are good for supply. I remember reading once about Nigeria having very strong herbs that are used in food that are helpful. Ask the older women.

I do not personally have experience, but what I understand is that the recipes for stout that include raw barley flakes or raw oats flakes are the most efficacious. Good helpings of hops are also helpful. Let me know if you experiment and what the nursing mom finds out! Thanks.
