fenugreek

I'm having trouble breastfeeding, I had a reduction when I was a teenager and it's made giving my 10 day old a satisfying amount at meal times a bit difficult.

My pediatrician recommended taking fenugreek capsules - my husband picked some up but the bottle said "not recommended for nursing mothers" is this just a warning or should I not take them?  Any other recommendations for getting more of a milk supply?  

Right now I am pumping 3x daily for 15 minute increments, can I increase that? 

Thanks.

    Lactation cookies are delicious and also help with supply. Mothers milk tea I've heard also works. I have done the cookies and I am now taking fenugreek. My supply is fine for LOs nursing but I am increasing to build a pumped stash. Make sure to pump at the same time every day and more nursing and pumping equals more milk!
