My son is 5 months and was having the same problem. I tried the apple juice for him but it just gave him gas. I was told to try prune juice or some kind for myself to help with the bowels and he is back to the norm.

My son is 5mo and I produce between 12-15 oz a day w/in a 10 hr work day. When I get home it seems he only wants to nurse. His pediatrician suggested to try formula because he was not gaining but he just spits that up. How can I produce more since supplementing is not a factor for my son?

Please help.

I have a 5 month old and am breastfeeding but I am back at work. However, my supply seems to have dwindled within the last few months. Is it because of my eating habits because I am eating less or because I am not nursing as often?

please help
