A Fenugreek Question

I don't really need to *boost* my supply but want to maintain it.  Should I take it or no and if so how much?

Re: A Fenugreek Question

  • I do that sometimes just to make sure that when Noah isn't eating as much I can still pump and freeze. I don't take the pills, I drink the tea (which is actually pretty yummy with honey!). It totally makes your sweat smell like maple syrup which is a little freaky! haha

  • Everybody is different but I had to take lots to get any improvement and even that was small.  And I smelled like maple syrup.  I couldn't eat it for years.

    You would do better but making sure you are eating enough calories, drinking enough liquids and eating oatmeal or drinking a dark beer each night.

    I have a hard time remembering to eat, which makes it harder for me to lose weight which I think is STUPID. I can't eat just oatmeal, it makes me gag because of the texture.   Maybe I should make some lactation cookies.  That could be an adventure with my limited kitchen skills. :D 

  • LC just told me if I take it: 3 pills, 3x/day.

    Lactation cookies are awesome.  They provide nutrients, calories & fat - all things you need to make milk. :) And hey...the chocolate for sure doesn't hurt.
