I started taking alfalfa for the low milk supply for 10 days but I am not finding any difference. In the mornings my milk supply will be good but then by night it will be empty. I have attached my previous question regarding the same problem and I was suggested alfalfa and ricinus q but I have only tried alfalfa.

The 2 most important factors for good lactation are a good healthy balanced diet by you and regular suckling by the baby. Some medicines may help,try cap lactare 2 caps thrice a day and tab perinorm twice a day,both for 15 days. If effective,continue for atleast 3 months,otherwise stop and consider supplementing with top formula feed.

You need to understand the physiology of lactation rather than medicines
