Anxiety about breastfeeding

My son is 12 months old. I had to stop breastfeeding at 2 months since he was not putting on any weight. I had tried fenugreek and that other herbal supplement whos name I cannot currently remember. I was also on Domperidone, and met with several lactation consultants. It simply didn't work for me!

I am now expecting my second in December, and am really hoping that breastfeeding will work for me this time. Does anyone have any suggestions, or helpful tips that could help?

I nursed my twins until they were 3 months. Best way is pump and feed as often as possible. I did the fenugreek, mothers milk and reglan but my delivering doctor put my on a b/c that reduced my milk when i went in for my 6 week check up. He didnt know i was nursing. Try to stay off any b/c until you are done nursing. Good Luck!!
