Have you taken fenugreek to increase your milk supply? What dosage did you take and did it work?



I just started taking 3 capsules at a time 3 times a day. I have noticed a slight increase in milk supply. Should I take more fenugreek?

I’d check with your OB about taking more. That’s the dosage that I took.

You’ll know you’re taking enough if you start to smell like maple syrup ( armpits, sweat and pee!). Ruined me for pancakes for a while! lol

Congrats on your little one! Good luck with breastfeeding :)

Do not take any more. You are already taking the max recommended dose. It is secreted into the milk and too much can slightly harm the baby. For all those wondering though, it is safe to take as my OBGYN is even the one to “prescribe” it.

I started out w/ less than that and nothing happened. When I went up to the dose you’re taking it took about 2-3 days for a real good supply to come in. You should probably take it for a week or so to get things moving.

Good luck.

That’s the dosage I took and it took about a week to notice a big difference.

Take Mothers Milk tea. You can get this at any health food store or online. It is a miracle tea that every nursing mother should drink. I had so much milk it would squirt out of me. I’m not kidding! And it’s very healthy for the baby. And helps them digest better. My son was totally gassy before I started drinking this, and after, he had no more gas problems. I had one friend who was at her wits end from her daughters gas from nursing, and she started this tea, and was in heaven, because it went away.

You have to drink three cups a day, or your milk will not increase though. What I would usually do is just make the tea, and just drink it whenever I remembered. Because busy moms don’t always have time to sit and drink tea. But just keep a glass always made, and you’ll find the time.

I even used it again when I introduced solids to have more milk, and after 6 months of nursing, and on this tea, you’d think I was a new nursing mother with so much milk. It was crazy!
