What do you ladies think of these? I don't have a problem with supply, never have and she is exclusively breastfed without any bottles....just trying to stock up my freezer for future use lol also when she starts slowing down I'm thinking of boosting my supply past what she needs so I can donate milk to our local hospital! Anyways, have any of you ladies used this brand of fenugreek, and if so does it work well or are there other brands out there that work better?

Fenugreek can give babies gas it just depends. I usually just drink mothers milk tea to help with my supply.

I had mother's milk tea before, it's okay but honestly didn't really notice a difference, which wasn't a big deal but if I'm gonna donate I have to have an over supply again....@sexxymama83, and hahaha I didn't know it could make you smell like maple syrup, that's funny lol @brwneydgirly25

Yea I've used both before I just know that the fenugreek don't sit well with some babies. But I do know they sell Lactation cookie mix on Amazon maybe try those in combination with the tea....... Idk lol.

Thanks, maybe I'll think about that instead of the fenugreek....not in a rush, I just really wanna do some good since I've always been blessed with a great supply and not all mommy's get that chance! @sexxymama83, and @ahauge6, if you ever need any tips on increasing your supply without having to buy these things, shoot me a message I know a lot about the science of breastfeeding and have helped a lot of women continue and increase supply without having to do anything but let their bodies figure it out 😊 I would do this myself, but I am trying to trick my body into making an over supply for donation lol

@ahauge6, Ah, so basically the same dilemma as me, only you are on a time crunch in preparation for work! Well, since you probably HAVE a breast pump, I would suggest the same that I suggested for @mommytomia, which would be to pump after each feeding, even if you don't get very much...this will send the signal to your breasts that you're not making enough and should help them get the hint, however for even better results, pump on one side as the baby nurses on the other side, that way when you have a let down during your nursing session, you can kinda "catch" it with the pump and it will flow easier! You should get more in your pump this way, and since your breasts never fully empty, you can keep switching the baby from side to side so she is satisfied and you happen to be pumping extra at the same time 😉 this seemed to work pretty well for my friend, she is now able to bottle feed her lil girl and also breastfeed too! If not, then we're in the same boat girl!
