Will fenugreek help me with breastfeeding?

Answer by  Taytotot (314)

If you choose to take fenugreek you have to take a large amount of it. For me pumping all the recommended times helped with my supply.

Yes it does work, it helps generate a larger supply of Breast Milk but remember you need to give milk to make milk.

In modern herbalism, fenugreek is recognized as a galactogauge. In other words an herb that stimulates milk production. You must take it consistently to improve your milk supply.

The successful use of Fenugreek while breastfeeding is definitely not an old wives' tale. It increases the supply of milk, is a great natural remedy and it is completely safe to use.

Fenugreek is a proven galactogogue (milk supply enhancer). You need to take over 3500 mg a day to see improvement, and it may take up to two weeks. Most women notice improvement in the first three days, though. Take 7-14 capsules a day, or one teaspoon three times a day.
