Has anyone used this to increase breast milk production?

For me, it did. I used to get 2oz on both sides but now it doubled the amount. I just started last week and already noticed the difference in terms of BM supply.

Absolutely, we used it exclusively for that until about 9 months (or later) when we introduced regular cow's milk. And we continued to used it for sometime after that. - @notagrouch

Yes, it actually works better when you are not breastfeeding. I have only been able to use them a little because I have milk. When there is no milk, the "latch" from the nipplettes will be better and therefore Work better.

it says you can do it, but I haven´t try it. I have try skim milk and it worked but takes longer.

I really don't know.I didn't try-I am sorry and my Aroma is now dead.It did do best with certain types(brands even) of milk.Hopefully someone with a working one-if there are any-can tell you!

I had an OK milk production but wanted a great milk production so I was recommended these vitamins. I'd say I saw a significant increase within 24 hours. I was very pleased with this product. The only improvement would be the price but it was still worth it. I followed the instructions perfectly which I think was very important and that helped me see results within 24 hours. So I took 3 doses (a full day's worth) and saw results the next day. I hope this was helpful, please let me know you have anymore questions about this product!

Definitely! I've only used it for breast milk, but another baby at daycare only uses it for formula. One thing our provider mentioned though, is when warming a bottle of breast milk in water, these bottles tent to leak. Personally, I've never had that problem at home, but we don't take these to daycare anymore - just in case.

I have not tried this personally. I mailed this to my daughter who has a new baby and is breast feeding. I was hoping this would give her back support at night.

The best thing to do is check with your doctor. I avoided almost everything while I was breast feeding. It is a safe product, all natural but I don't know how it would affect your milk.

No. I am a 38 DD typically. So of course breast feeding enlarged them. This pump was horrible & I ended up paying for a different one. I now have medela & it works so much better. W this I got 1 oz from both sides. Medela- 7-10 oz both sides.

It has been wonderful for my baby that breast feeds. She has been using it since she was four weeks old.

I have used it to bring breastmilk from work to home and even forgotten it over night and the breastmilk was still not completely thawed by the time I remembered. This thing is Great for that!

I have before, but found it wasn't as filling as milk. I actually use almond milk- which makes it a thicker consistency without using ice in a blender like they suggest.

I found it worked more efficiently and faster to warm up my breast milk bags than it did formula in a bottle. I highly recommend this and wish I had it for my other two kids. I now carry warm water in it to make my formula bottles or to warm up baby food. Hope this helps!

Yes, we've been really pleased with it. If the baby isn't breastfed then there's no point buying this, but if the baby switches back and forth between bottle and breast you'll be happy to have it. If you're buying it for a mom who already has a bunch of Medela stuff (pump, bottles, etc) then I recommend buying the CALMA nipple in the 8oz option. Unless the prices have changed, you get way more for your money with that option (2 bottles versus just 1) and I already had a bunch of 5oz Medela bottles. The two 8oz bottles that came with the CALMA nipple i purchased are still the only two 8oz bottles I own, so I'm glad I did it that way....kinda killed two birds with one stone.

No none as I've noticed my husband used this and it did work but found out it has ingredients that can cause cancer so we threw it out.

Yes as I am a very big breasted woman myself, this product does in fact work on a large breasted woman but it's got a very weak milk suction so if ur milk production is a large amount I would suggest another pump as in the lansinoah or a medela double breast pump because the medela actual a has parts u can purchase to fit ur breast size and then some. The lansinoah was the first pump I ever used and it worked excellent plus it gives u tutorials and such.... I hope my answer helped u.
