Cluster feeding is just so much of a bother, but it's probably to increase milk production. I can really recommend fenugreek. I've heard you've got capsules in the US, but we're more primitive, so I had to do with tea.
Lactation tea: One liter/quart of water Two teaspoons each of aniseed and fennel seeds Four teaspoons of fenugreek seeds
Bring to a rolling boil in a covered pan and remove from the heat. Let it stand covered for at least half an hour, and at most an hour, and strain. Drink a glass before and after each feeding.
I'm consuming more fenugreek than the rest of our 15 000 people city section together. :-)
