How long did Fenugreek take to work for you?



Just curious when I can expect results. Was it a major increase in milk supply or just a little bit over time? How long did you have to take Fenugreek?

Thanks!

Fenugreek and Breastfeeding
Fenugreek seeds contain hormone precursors that increase milk supply. Scientists do not know for sure how this happens. Some believe it is possible because breasts are modified sweat glands, and fenugreek stimulates sweat production. It has been found that fenugreek can increase a nursing mother’s milk supply within 24 to 72 hours after first taking the herb. Once an adequate level of milk production is reached, most women can discontinue the fenugreek and maintain the milk supply with adequate breast stimulation. Many women today take fenugreek in a pill form (ground seeds placed in capsules). The pills can be found at most vitamin and nutrition stores and at many supermarkets and natural foods stores. Fenugreek can also be taken in tea form, although tea is believed to be less potent than the pills and the tea comes with a bitter taste that can be hard to stomach. Fenugreek is not right for everyone. The herb has caused aggravated asthma symptoms in some women and has lowered blood glucose levels in some women with diabetes.

It never worked for me but I had stopped nursing and had started back. I hear it takes about 2 weeks to help if you are taking it to increase your supply.

it really didn’t do much for me – my baby got nipple confusion after two weeks and stopped nursing for two weeks then became interested so I phoned the national breastfeeding line and they suggested that as well as regular expressing to help it come back in however it never really cam back to anything like it was so after a month of persisting with it i let nature take its course and he stopped nursing from me as he wasn’t getting much
