Customer Rating: Summary: Worth a Try. Comment: Our baby was born in early October. My wife wanted to feed him the way nature intended and we were visited by a lactation nurse at the hospital. She advised us and said that if we ever had problems with obtaining enough milk, we might try Fenugreek, a supplement available at health-food stores. Of course, we forgot the peculiar name shortly thereafter. Well, my wife started to have difficulties a few weeks later in keeping up with the baby's growing needs. We mentioned the problem to a young couple who had a recent child. The woman said she had the same problem and told us to get Fenugreek. She said it had worked for her. There was that strange-sounding word again.
We purchased Nature's Way Fenugreek shortly thereafter. Strange stuff. It's an herbal supplement in capsule form, but the label doesn't say what it's for. I guess you just have to know. Evidently, it's one of those things that takes a certain amount of faith. Anyway, since we heard about it from two completely independent sources, my wife started taking it. Well, it wasn't a miracle. There was no immediate change. However, my wife gradually began to keep up with the baby's needs and has kept up ever since. Was it the Fenugreek? Perhaps. Maybe she was just adapting to the new baby. It's hard to tell. However, if anyone is having this problem, I'd say the Fenugreek is worth a try.
Gary Peterson Customer Rating: Summary: Really helps with milk production! Comment: Fenugreek is amazing! Within 2 days my milk doubled and I was able to successfully nurse my one-month old baby. We both smelled like maple syrup for a week, but that was fine with me. Customer Rating: Summary: Worth a try! Comment: I feel my milk supply increased within 24 hours. I have loose bowel movement on the first day of taking Fenugreek Seed pills, but it help my constipation. I was nursing my daughter almost by the hour in the first month, and it's necessary to establish milk supply. With help of this pill now I can breastfeed my 2-month-old without supplement. No more bottle washing. Save time; save money. Lose weight without diet and exercise. It's been great. Customer Rating: Summary: Seems to work Comment: It seems to work, not sure if it is my pump working good to keep up my milk supply or the fenugreek but it definitely makes my milk smell sweeter. Customer Rating: Summary: Good product Comment: I noticed a small difference in the amount, but not as much as I wanted, and it comes with the price of smelling like maple syrup!
