Anyone use fenugreek to help milk supply. I'm only getting 2oz first thing in am and after that 1oz maybe. is it safe…

Your milk is still developing. It takes 12 weeks for you milk to fully come in. Are you pumping? Pumping can decrease it if you're not constant with it

I took fenugreek pills and they didn't help. It works for some ladies and some dont. Depends on your body. If you do take them you have to 3 pills a day but it wont work asap it takes a while. Try the mothers milk tea.

Personally I take shatavari, instead if fenugreek. Fenugreek can cancel out other medicines. Example I was taking thyroid medicine and taking fenugreek made my thyroid medicine not work. Also shatavari is a higher does and will help u produce more supply. (I have twins and keeping my supply up is a struggle) but not with the shatavari. Also if u drink a beer before bed that helps also. (The yeast in it is what helps) something like Guinness. You can also try lactation cookies, mothers milk tea, and ovaltine.

You have to take enough fenugreek to where your pee smells like maple syrup. You can google the exact amount. You can also look up a recipe for lactation cookies and make some. They're full of things like oats, flax, brewers yeast etc things that up your milk. Stouts help too if you like beer ☺️

Fenugreek comes in capsules or tinctures

@andrewsmommy I pump ever 3 hour during day I try to feed her when I am able to but she only latches with shield and she has problems with that. she was in nicu so I wasn't able to do a lot at first. and I'm almost healed from section.

@moondluv @ambermento Thank you I'm wait to go out of town to get the flax seed and brewers yeast. And I was thinking of try the beer

My baby is 6 weeks now and I had lactation problem. I didn't get milk for two weeks after she was born. I pumped every two hours to stimulate my brain. It was painful process but milk supply increased. I took lactation tea - made tea and kept in the fridge, instead of drinking water, I just had tea.

I have also heard ovaltine helps but I have not tried it yet

@hems thank you I think I'll make up a lot of tea and do that may help more.

@moondluv I'll check that stuff out.
