What do you think of these milk supply boosters?
I have been reading several wonderful things about Mother’s Milk tea and fenugreek. I have never liked tea and from what I understand this stuff is not supposed to taste good at all, and the fenugreek makes you smell like syrup lol.
Is there a tea that has a better taste lol? If not, how does the Blessed Thistle and the other listed products work if you have tried them? I can tolerate oatmeal, but really don’t like it a whole lot…
” * More Milk Tincture – 1 dropperful per hour till supply increases. Then decrease until supply is maintained. Take in a little cup of water, it’s nasty. Use More Milk Two if you’re pregnant.
* Fenugreek – 3 capsules 3 times a day until you smell faintly of maple. Don’t use if you’re pregnant. Can increase dose to 3 capsules 5 times a day. More effective if used in combination with Blessed Thistle.
* Mother’s Milk tea (From Traditional Medicinals) 3 cups/day – I found this didn’t really increase supply so much as maintain it. Lots of honey, also nasty.
* Alfalfa tablets – also a great laxative to counteract the iron in your prenatal vitamins! 2 capsules 2x/day.
* Other herbs – blessed thistle (not milk thistle), nettle, fennel, anise. B vitamins can also help. Hops are good galactogogues as well, but I think they don’t just mean in beer.
* Avoid – sage, peppermint and wintergreen as some people find that these decrease supply.
* Foods – oatmeal is reported to increase supply, and it sure can’t hurt. I like a bowl of all-natural, whole grain, rolled oats in the morning, but I’m kind of a hippie that way. Others get their oatmeal from the instant packets, or even oatmeal cookies – yum!”

I only tried the fenugreek. I think it made me smell more like celery than maple but it did seem to help.
I’ve heard good things about them all..but none of them worked for me. I bought Mother’s Milk tea drank it about 4-5 times a day with no change in my suply at all..soo i did some research read about fenugreek and decided to try it and i thought it would solve all my suply problems.. it didnt.. Really the only way to really boost your suply is to pump or feed more often and for a longer amount of time..
None of that stuff really worked for me the one that I saw the most increase with was fenugreek, along with feeding and/or pumping every 2-3 hours
