How to Boost breastmilk supply

FTM here, after birth my milk supply was doing good. 1pump could get up to 200+mls (both breast) but now i can only get max of 100mls and that is only base on luck. Average would be 30mls. I am breastfeeding but i put my son at my mom's house for a night and from there my milk starts to decrease rapidly. Been drinking mama's choice milk booster but it doesnt seem to be enough. Any other suggestions on what should i do or consume ?

That one night away likely caused your supply to drop because the demand dropped suddenly, and your body responded by making less milk. The most reliable way to rebuild is to increase demand again, so nursing or pumping more frequently, even if the output looks discouraging at first, really does help signal your body to catch up. Some mums here also find that power pumping (pumping on and off for about an hour to mimic a cluster feed) helps over a few days. It might also be worth checking in with a lactation consultant or even your PD, just to rule out anything else and get personalised advice on whether what you are taking is the right fit for your situation.
