Do we take this after delivery only? and not during pregnancy?
I guess u won't be breastfeeding during ur pregnancy rite? U wont need to take this during pregnancy i guess.. Haha anyway,I juz bought 2bottles straight today n asked the lady at GNC,can start taking fenugreek after u delivered,start from 2tablets per day,1 in the day,1 in the nite.. Can gradually increase to maximum 6tablets per day when 1 increase milk supply.. Keep in mind to take it 2hrs before/after u take any TCM medicine/drinks/soup to avoid any crashing of effects.. can be taken along with any multi-vitamins n DHA supplements..

Thanks XenXuan. I'm asking coz there's a promotion going on at GNC. I am wondering if I should buy Genugreek first.

Np.. I've started taking my fenugreek on my 3rd day of delivery.. Today is 5th day,milk flow started coming in already n it's quite good.. Even thou I still feel my supply is slightly lesser than wat my girl demanded but it seems to gets better in each feeding.. Gonna increase my intake to 3capsules tml onwards n monitor the effects.. I din smell anything in my urine or my baby's.. Only when I burp,I can still smell the fenugreek herb smell I guess..

hi mummies!

i just bought a bottle of Fenugreek from GNC this afternoon and just started taking it - as per advice from GNC staff, i will start taking 1 per day first and monitor the progress.... if not much, i think i will increase to 2 per day :)

is it true that mummies who went thru c-sect delivery will produce lesser milk? :(

fenugreek seeds will work for some moms but not all of them. Some moms will need more than one herb to increase milk supply.

I was only able to pump 1/2 ounce while using just fenugreek. I never did see an increase. I started using breastea and I am now pumping over 5 ounces. It has worked great. If fenugreek isn't helping, do a web search and try the Breastea out.

Hi,

I have been breast feeding my son for 2 mths. He will latch on with an interval of 1 to 1/2 hr. At night, he will wake up 2-3 times for milk. I wonder is it normal at this age or am I not feeding him enough at night? If I take fenugreek now to increase my supply, will it be too late?
