Doctor said to get fenugreek to increase milk supply. I have 610mg, how much am I suppose to take a day?

    Recommendation from kellymom is 2-3 pills at a time 3x a day (so approx 6-9 daily)

    Number of pills depends on their strength. My doctor told me up to 3000mg/day. Check the bottle to see how much is in each pill.

    1 pill 3x a day is enough for me to see a difference and smell like maple syrup.

    I take 2 capsules 3x a day. Sweating and smelling like syrup kills the mood. Lol!

    It can also make you and LO gassy, so watch out for that.

    Totally does! Working out makes me want to puke from the smell. I think I really need to stop taking it. Just not the same as delicious pancakes and syrup :P

    Interesting. First I'm hearing of this. I've been very gassy past couple of weeks and had no idea why as I've always had a high fruit/veggie diet but never caused gas.

    This. It also gave me the runs when I used it with my first baby. Which was awful. And it hurt my baby's tummy something awful.

    I take fenugreek and blessed thistle. I found when I didn't take them together it didn't work as well. I wish the night sweats I get would go away so I'm not smelling funky in the middle of the night, didn't know it changed your sweat....makes sense now. ..lovely night sweats... :-<

    My doctor told me that the body can metabolize up to 6000mg a day! However, it can cause digestive issues so def take it with food! My pills are 1500mg and I take 4 a day.

    DD has always been gassy but not fussy with it. Seriously though, she farts as loud as dad. Lol. Anyway, I took 8 610mg yesterday & have already taken 3 today. We'll see if it increases. I sure hope so bc DD was on my boob constantly yesterday only getting a bit at a time & I start back to work next week & need to be able to pump for her.. I'll update as time progresses. Thanks ladies!
