Stay with Fenugreek or switch to MotherLove?

Cookiecake7 · February 2012

Last week I was diagnosed with mastitits, got my first PP period, and hit the 6 month supply drop all at the same time. I'm working on building up my supply but I'm still short about 4 ounces a day. I'm almost out of my bottle of Fenugreek so before I buy more I'm wondering whether I should switch to the MotherLove More Milk Plus instead. Has anyone tried it with success? Thanks!

Did the Fenugreek work for you? Did you or LO have any side effects? I'm hitting the 6 month supply drop a little early and it's starting to seriously dip into my milk supply for when I'm at work.

It worked ok. This time a week ago I only pumped one bottle the entire day. Usually I pump about 4. I'm back up to about three bottles a day. I'm still taking antibiotics and am hoping that once I finish with those I can get up to where I was before. The only side effect is the chemically-fake-maple-smell everyone complains about. I feel like Mrs. Butterworth. A friend took Fenugreek when she was BF and said it helped a lot.

I have taken both. The fenugreek worked great for me but it had unpleasant side effects for me and LO (gassiness). I started taking MotherLove More Milk (not More Milk Plus) the More Milk does not have fenugreek in it like More Milk Plus does. It taste horrible but I am extremely happy with the results! I no longer need to supplement in the evenings. I started with a 2 oz bottle and I just ordered an 8 oz bottle! Love it! It is more expensive than the fenugreek though.
