Increasing milk supply with Fenugreek Most of the time, breastfeeding on demand, not supplementing with formula, avoiding nicotine, getting enough rest and fluids, and avoiding too much caffeine is enough to get a mom well on her way to producing enough breast milk for baby. However, for some moms who are going back to work soon, or for moms who have trouble pumping breast milk, or have other underlying conditions, there may be a need to use a few natural methods to increase the milk supply. The herb Fenugreek has been used for hundreds of years, with outstanding success. Mothers who use it generally start seeing an increase in milk production within 24 -72 hours. The part of the plant that is used is the seed and it contains hormone precursors. It also helps to enrich the mother's milk. One way it is thought to do this is by reducing lympatic congesting and thus increasing the blood supply to milk ducts. It is listed by the FDA as safe for pregnant and lactating women. As with any herb, vitamin, or medicine, there can be side effects (generally loose stool) if too much is taken, therefore, you should consult with an herbalist or lactation consultant about proper dosage and underlying medical conditions prior to taking.
