			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My supply took a big hit after I started working again.  Here&#8217;s what worked for me (thank you to all my friends at <a href="http://www.mymommytime.com/" target="_blank">My Mommy Time</a> who helped me with this!):</p>
<p>-Drink a ton of <strong>water</strong>.  This is by far the most helpful.  I drink about 100 ounces a day.<br />
-Eat old fashioned <strong>oatmeal</strong>.  I make a big batch every Sunday and it keeps until Friday.<br />
-Add <strong>flax seed meal</strong> to foods. I put it in my oatmeal every morning.<br />
-<strong>Brewer&#8217;s Yeast</strong> (a supplement that can be found at GNC or Whole Foods) **Brewer&#8217;s Yeast is different than active or dry yeast** I also add a bit of this to my oatmeal every morning.<br />
-<strong>Fenugreek</strong> (a supplement that can be found at GNC or Whole Foods)<br />
<strong>-Blessed Thistle</strong> (a supplement that can be found at GNC or Whole Foods)<br />
-I took a supplement called <a href="http://store.motherlove.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&amp;Store_Code=MHC&amp;Product_Code=5100&amp;Category_Code=00006" target="_blank"><strong>More Milk Plus</strong></a> that has Fenugreek, Blessed Thistle, Nettle Leaf, and Fennel Seed.  The capsules are WAY better than the tincture.  Expensive but worth it!<br />
-<strong>Pumping for 10 minutes AFTER you stop dripping milk</strong>. If pumping while away from your LO you should pump for 5 minutes after milk stops dripping to maintain your supply. I pump for at least 20 minutes at a time while at work. If you don&#8217;t have it already, invest in a good <a href="http://www.pumpingband.com/" target="_blank">handsfree pumping bra</a>.<br />
-<a href="http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/membe ... ES-1252680" target="_blank"><strong>Lactation cookies!!</strong></a><!-- m --> The active ingredients are the oatmeal, flax seed meal, and brewers yeast. I substituted coconut butter and applesauce for the butter-YUM.  Only problem is I can&#8217;t stop eating them so I just add the elements to my oatmeal so that I don&#8217;t get HUGE.<br />
-<strong>Try not to stress</strong>.  I found that stress is the number one issue with my milk supply.  I make sure to do something that isn&#8217;t stressful when I&#8217;m pumping (like write posts-HA!).  If I work I don&#8217;t get nearly as much milk.<br />
-<strong>Nurse</strong> as much as possible. I nurse Lucy as soon as I get home. Then right before bed.  During the weekend nurse, nurse, and nurse and try to throw in one pump session a day.</p>
<p>I hope this helps!</p>
