Breastfeeding

For those who take herbs to increase milk supply..

...how long did you take them for? I have been taking More Milk Plus with great results. But now I am not sure how long I should be on them.  I  have read that your body can get used to the herbs if you are on them indefinitely and then they no will no longer be as effective.  Any advice?

Re: For those who take herbs to increase milk supply..

  • i started taking more milk plus almost 2 weeks ago when i got sick and my supply dropped.  i asked the LC how long to take it for and she said to take it for 2 weeks so that is what I am planning to do.

  • Why not try slowly weaning down off of it.  Drop 1 capsule and see how your supply does.  If it stays up then drop another.  If at any point it drops again go back to however many you were taking before it dropped.
