For feeding my previous babies I used to drink a pregnancy/ breastfeeding nutritional shake called 'Formance' - does anyone know if it is available in Dubai, or something similar? Also, I used to make 'jungle juice' using apple juice, Schlehen's blackthorn berry elixir and Rehidrat sachets - anyone know if the last two ingredients are available here too?
These helped me SO much with BF, I really hope I will be able to find them! Thanks!

Thanks ladies! I guess if you're desperate to keep your supply up, you probably don't care too much how you smell ;)

cummin seeds-Fennel seeds and dried fenugreek leaves boiled in a 'tea' did wonders for my supply Didn't you find it made you smell? I get very hot especially at night. I was drinking it in DDs bfeeding time and hated how it made me smell :(

There is a Hipp Organic breastfeeding tea with fennel, aniseed & caraway. Should be available in Spinneys

Not sure about those ingredients but fennel seeds, whether eaten raw or you can boil and make a tea with them, increase lactation.
