Have you had success with DOMPERIDOME?

Are you using an electric pump ? Maybe it is worth hiring a double electric pump for a short period of time. These are much more efficient at pumping milk and doing both sides at the same time should help stimulate your milk supply.
Secondly, are you feeding in the night ? The hormone that stimulates milk supply is high during the night time, so try feeding at night time more.
Good luck and perservere, it is worth it !

Hi Buckeroo,

I love Korean seaweed soup and It's amazing to know that i improves the quantity of breat milk. I have taken the fish, papaya soup on the first few months after giving birth to my #1, however it didnt improve my milk supply. I got more milk at the end just because I pumped more often. As what lactation expert said, empty breast makes more milk.
I'm now pregnant again with #2 and really interested to try this seaweed soup. Do you know where I can buy the seaweed and can you recommend any brand if it is already packed. Thanks heaps!

Hi, limantari. Congrats on pregnancy #2.

My husband got his distributor to get it for him in Korea, but I would think that any Korean shop here would have it, too, as it is almost a staple of the Korean diet. Apparently there are different grades of laver, ranging from reasonable to VERY expensive. We've tried different ones, but they all tasted similar to me. The one that we have right now is OTTOGI SEAWEED --that's the only English in the entire packaging; everything else is in Korean. I don't know if that is the brand or what. I'm sure if you get to a Korean shop, you can just ask them for "seaweed used for making soup after giving birth" and they'll be able to help you. They serve the seaweed soup not just for post-pregnancy, but also during birthdays, so it's really very common.

Good luck. I really swear by it.
