Increase milk supply with Fenugreek

I was having problems with milk supply from the beginning with Sienna. To start with my doctor gave me medication called Motilium. This helped but I didn’t want to keep taking the tablets as there can be side effects. So I started taking Fenugreek which is one of the world’s oldest medicinal herbs.  It has a variety of uses, including increasing breastmilk production.

You can buy it in tablet form at chemists. I bought the Natures Own brand.

To increase your milk supply follow these instructions:

• 3 x 3 x 3 – Take three (3) tablets three (3) times a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) for three (3) days
• 2 x 2 x 4 – Take two (2) tablets two (2) times a day for four (4) days
• 1 x 3 x 2 – Take one (1)  tablet three (3) times a day for two (2) days
• 1 x 2 x 2 – Take one (1)  tablet two (2) times a day for two (2) days
• 1 x 1 – Take one (1)  tablet for one (1) day.

Once an adequate level of milk production is reached, you can discontinue the fenugreek and maintain the milk supply with adequate breast stimulation (from bub or breast pump).

I hope this helps…let me know if you have tried any other methods that have worked.
