No and one of my lactation consultations it was actually frowned upon. They recommended dark beer(more hops the better), steel cut oatmeal and adding in extra water. Avoid things like benadryl and only use antibiotics as necessary as possible.

Lots of skin to skin, you can talk to your doc about domperidone, you can make lactation cookies/shakes/muffins etc, oatmeal everyday.

Feeding baby on demand is the best way, make sure your staying hydrated and snacks :heart:

Removing milk is the only thing that will make more milk.

Google cluster feeding. Baby may need more because of growing. The more baby nurses the better your supply.
