For those of you using Fenugreek ... What works best to build supply?

Which brand are you using?

    I've been drinking mothers milk tea (2-3 cups/day) and I definitely notice a difference. The taste is a little overwhelming but it grows on you.

    I was doing capsules and it really helped my supply until I realized that there was a connection between them and my Los painful gas, so I'm just doing lactation cookies with brewers yeast

    Anybody else have gas issues with LO while taking the capsules ? We had general gas issues due to what I was eating and I just do not want to go backwards since that is now fixed

    I was recommended fenugreek by my nurse in the hospital when I delivered DD. I have been taking one to two capsules everyday and haven't had milk supply issues, other than smelling like a maple pancake :) I didn't know there might be an issue with gas and the capsules, which I'm taking. Can someone elaborate further on this? My baby girl has gas off and on and I didn't think that might be a side effect... Also, for those taking it, do you feel it really helps? I'm interested.

    I'm using Motherlove brand. 3 capsules 3x a day. And yes, I do smell like Aunt Jemima. Pretty sure DH isn't devastated that we can't DTD yet because of my lovely smell!!

    FWIW, I did capsules last time around with DS.  It was later in the game (after 6 months in) and I was working on building a stash for a long weekend away.  I didn't find any noticeable change except that I smelled like a bottle of syrup.

    Since I've been drinking the tea I've noticed DD has had increased gas. She doesn't seem to be in any pain though. They are loud grown man farts!
    Has anyone found that LO's had less poopy diapers? DD has gone from 6 (ish)/day to 2/day (past three days)

    The reduction in poopy diapers here started before my first dose of fenugreek. I asked our pedi yesterday at her 2 mos appt and was told that 6-8 weeks is when they got from many poops a day to just one or two. He told me to call him if we go 4 days with no poop. Ack! I cannot imagine that!
