Relactation

I’m a 49 year old women starting relactation so I can breastfeed my husband. I was wondering what supplements I should be taking and if anyone has succeeded at this?? I breastfed both my daughters and I was an over producer but that was 21 year ago. If anyone has any suggestions or has succeeded at this I like to know. My husband suckles at least 5 times a day and off and on throughout the night and I’m only getting little drops!! We have been at this for about a week. Just looking for some advice.

There is a benign medicine which is usually taken to prevent vomiting during a sea voyage or a long car journey.
Not a steroid or a hormone - it increases prolactin after a week or so of usage.
The name us 'domperidone' - Google it.
Of course, check with your doctor whether it's okay for you and about dosage

@Domking Thank you for your advice I have thought about trying that but for now would like to keep it natural.

@Piper1 try fenugreek seeds - it's a naturally grown spice.
