I had lot of problems breast feeding my first child. She had latching issues, and then my milk supply reduced and finally I gave up.With my second one, someone suggested this and I started taking it right after I delivered. From the third day I started getting abundant milk. After a while I thought may be I don't need this, may be it would have worked even without this supplement. So, I started reducing the dosage, and realized my milk supply started going down.This is a harmless supplement, I even checked with my gynec to make sure it is ok to take it.
When I returned to work a few months ago a few months ago after the birth of my 2nd child, I initially was able to pump 10-12oz during my lunch hour but after about 4 weeks at work, my supply precipitously declined. I then started to take non-gaia brand fenugreek seed capsules for a week without a significant change in my supply. I then switched to this brand Gaia and took 3 capsule after breakfast and 3 capsules after lunch along with Gaia lactation support 1 capsule between breakfast & lunch and my supply was instantaneously back up: 10 ounces at lunch again. I've been doing this for about a month now with excellent results. This stuff is amazing!
This has helped increase supply, happy with the product.
Take two twice a day to help with lactation. Just gives me a boost when I feel run down/dehydrated or when I know I need to pump. Definitely works if you drink lots of water with it. Would recommend to all moms. The tea is a joke, get the pills!! It is all I use to boost my supply.
It helps with my appetite.
There is a difference between brands it seems. Just a few days into this brand, and I'm having a significant difference in milk production. I wasn't sure it would matter, but apparently paying a little more actually means a difference. ALSO - the maple syrup smell associated with this herb is SO MUCH LESS with this brand. All this is just for my experience, yours of course may be different.
My milk supply had gone down by 50% (baby continued to nurse the same way, but on the pump I was only getting 3oz at a time instead of 6oz which had been my normal for a while). After taking these pills for 2 days the supply went back to where it used to be, and I went back to feel my breasts full if I didn’t nurse/pumped for a few hours.
I am breastfeeding twin boys. When I returned to work I started noticing a decrease in supply. I have been able to keep up with them without supplementing. When I started to take fenugreek, I noticed that my afternoon pumps and morning pumps were quite a lot more than what I usually had and was able to help me continue to feed my babes without formula.*** Please note I do smell like maple syrup but I just eat more waffles ;)*** Also when I am taking the pills, my gas is horrible! I'm not sure if this is related or not bc I am also sensitive to dairy, yet continue to eat it for the calcium and protein throughout the day. Anyone else have this side effect???
My star rating is because this product practically dried up my milk supply. Whether it was the quality of the product or just my body's individual response I'm not sure. Others had great success with it so it most likely was my unique situation. I took it as suggested on the bottle.
Listen- I hate to not give this a great review- but quite honestly- nothing really worked for me. I wasn't as fortunate as others- and that is why my recommendation to others would be to try different kinds- some things do work for some. This may work for some people but not me- but I wouldn't bash it either. I tried.
