Thans for responding about goat's rue.  Why did you wean off of it? Is it something to quit gradually?

Re: **LilMissLadybug***

  • I'm trying to keep my supply up without supplements, but am currently taking fenugreek & blessed thistle. My LC told me not to suddenly stop the goats rue she said weaning off is best to keep your supply from tanking and some people have to take it as long as they breastfeed. Its pricey too, but worth it!

  • What kind of increase did you get?
  • I went from him getting 1oz at most and only pumping drops to pumping 2-4oz and supplementing less. He is satisfied longer between feedings so I assume he's getting what he needs, he was nursing every single hour day and night and not gaining, so I had to give formula after evertime I nursed him, now he only gets 1-2 bottles a day, so it really helped! Give it 2-3 days, I woke up engorged and was never engorged before.
