Increasing my breast milk

Posted on October 23, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

Not that I have to but I'm just curious and also, I figured that if I increased my supply, perhaps T2 would take 1 minute to drink up instead of 10? Anyway, I'd been taking fenugreek tea on and off by just pouring hot water into the seeds.......click to learn what next.

Going out with baby
