Fenugreek

I don't know how many of you are struggling with milk production right now, but Fenugreek really worked for me.  I've been back at work for 4 weeks now, and it seemed that I was pumping less and less every week.  Before I went back to work, I already had low production, and we've been supplementing with formula since DD was a month old.  I wasn't quite ready to throw in the towel and allow my milk to dry up completely, so I started taking fenugreek capsules and drinking Mother's Milk tea about a week ago.  I can already tell a huge difference!   Yesterday, I pumped more than double what I had been able to, and I woke up this morning engorged for the very first time.  I am so thankful that it's helping!

Glad it's working for you if you we're struggling! I've also noticed a dip in pumping since going back to work, so have considered taking fenugreek. Can I ask what dose you're taking? TIA!

I take 1500 mg 3x per day. I just ordered the capsules from Amazon. They're pretty inexpensive.

You can also get them at walgreens or any whole food store.
