Blessed Thistle and Fenugreek results from mainly pumping mo
posted 4th Jul
ok so i have been taking fenugreek 3 pills 3 times a day for 2 days now and still no results.
I was thinking of getting some blessed thistle to go along with it.
Is this safe and what other methods could I use to get my milk supply up.
BTW my son drinks like 35 ounces a day lol so I need more milk!!!

yes, it's an okay combo.
You can take 4 fenugreek pills 3 times a day. Or more...when you smell like maple syrup, you're at the max.
And those things never worked for me. They may not work for you...

Fenugreek did nothing for me either. Be careful how much you take-it is known to lower blood sugar as well. My body was very receptive to that trait but helping with my supply-Not so much.

It can take up to two weeks for the full effect to kick in.

Fenugreek didn't work for me, but ya try it in combo with blessed thistle. Are you breastfeeding or pumping mainly?? Putting baby to breast is your best source for boosting supply

I had some help from the herbs but ultimately was helped by taking Reglan. Ask your doc about it. You cant have it if you have a history of depression AND you can only stay on it for a short time but it may be the boost you need even if it doesnt last. It helped me immensely while i was on it.
