Fenugreek: word of caution

mihaelams1

My LO has been really miserable lately, having symptoms of silent reflux and gas pains and transforming from a calm baby into a crying and fussy one, refusing the breast. I was thinking of what could have caused the change and then it hit me! I have increased my intake of Fenugreek from 2 capsules 3 times a day to 3 capsules. It helped with the supply, but I was feeling bloated and nauseous, not wanting to eat. They mention these as side effects when the dose is 100g or more a day (I was getting 6g max), but looks like it can hit you even then. I am now trying to see if LO will get better, but I'm almost 100% sure that is the cause. So be careful with Fenugreek!

I had to completely stop taking it. It worked soooo well so I was really bummed when it dawned on me that my once happy baby made me want to pull my hair out.

@mandala1107 how long did it take until your LO has recovered?

Try fenugreek by Honest Company. it has fennel in it also to help reduce gas in baby. I haven't had any issues since switching to this one.
