Reddit mentions of Lact-Aid Deluxe Nursing Trainer System …

I had chronic low supply. I power pumped all day every day. I spent tons of money on supplements, extra pump parts, lovely pumping bras. I was able to make a very small amount and continued this way for months.

I missed so much time i could have held my baby!

Here’s what is worth trying in my opinion

Lact aid - https://www.amazon.com/Lact-Aid-Deluxe-Nursing-Trainer-System/dp/B00A8S0EY6

A pain in the ass to use often. But it allows you to feed baby and work on latch while stimulating milk production

Legendairy Milk supplements also helped


Gatoraid/cal-mag supplements also were good


All in all, the important thing to remember is you can bond with your baby and provide food. If your body can’t make enough milk, it hurts, but you are not alone. If it seems it is taking time away from self care and being with your baby, it is okay to stop ❤️

Yes - supplementer :)

This is a link for the "starter" one that costs about $18 on Amazon
It was okay. I used it for about 2 days, but it spilled milk on me two times and just didn't work 2x (because I'd put it together wrong).

This is the expensive-ass one I have (at least it comes with 2 so I can use one and have the next one ready & it's never leaked on me and seems to be pretty idiot-proof to put together after figuring it out by doing it the first couple of times).
I chose it because a few blogs with women whose stories seemed somewhat similar to our issues said it was better, and it is also according to the reviews easier to tuck into a bra to nurse discretely in public and nurse lying down (both of these are very important to me as this is my 3rd kid).

Here's a link for the other one that seems to be popular.

I was seeing an IBCLC weekly and all I wanted to do was exclusively breastfeed and triple-feeding (attempt to nurse, bottle, pump) was so exhausting, I really wish I had started the whole SNS journey sooner ... maybe we'd be able to wean from it sooner and be only breastfeeding. It was so, so amazing when we were able to cut the amount of "top off" by like 2/3 in just 2 weeks. I cannot sing the praises of at-breast supplementation enough -
if what you really want to be doing is breastfeeding, it's BREASTFEEDING, you know?

We've kind of plateaued at the 10oz level, but that may be because of the shield, or other issues we have that I'm hoping will resolve if we stick with it as she gets bigger/stronger. (I actually joined to post/ask about our particular struggle.)

If you're looking for supplements, I found that milkmaid tea and old fashioned oatmeal really helped me a lot.
