PCOS BFing mommas

Mrs.Babbsy

I have been on more milk special blend and I think it's made a huge difference in my supply. I was doing blessed thistle alone and had a great response, but after talking to an LC I decided to add this as well. It's really helpful for PCOS patients.

I have PCOS and I pump exclusively.  I am using Fenugreek only and getting about 7 ounces each session, I have no idea if that is normal or not.

I plan of BFing so this is great! Thanks for the link! Have you adjusted your dose of Blessed Thistle since adding More Milk or just kept it the same?

Mrs.Babbsy

7 oz sounds great, how often are you pumping?

I am still using the blessed thistle the same. I just added the special blend and noticed a very nice boost.

Good to know...luckily my supply is hanging in there, hopefully I'll make it one more month.

Good information!  For the ladies that are still pregnant though know that PCOS doesn't always result in low supply, it can result in an oversupply.  Which is what we've been dealing with.  Best thing to do is not take any herbs or try and boost your supply until you're aware that there is a problem with your supply confirmed either by weight loss/stall or lack of wet/poopy diapers because if you don't have supply problems and take any herbs pro-actively it can result in very painful engorgement.

I didn't try that...hmmm.. we are close to stopping BFing.  but good to know.  I have never been diagnosed with PCOS, but I feel i have it.

I did fenugreek and blessed thistle and they didn't help me much.  Reglan didn't help me much either..
