How much did you take?
Hi.
I am desperate to stop giving DD formula and am taking Domperidone, Fenugreek, and Blessed Thistle. How much is okay to take? I am taking 1 Domperidone, 2 Blessed Thistle, and 4 Fenugreek every 6 hours. I don't notice it, but DH says I smell like maple syrup, which is supposed to mean you're taking enough Fenugreek. Supply is still not where it should be, after almost 1 month of these supplements. Okay to increase? What is the max allowed? What about Chasteberry? Any others? Is it bad to combine so many? Help! Thank you! -V. |

I am sure others will have more to add, but the BEST way to increase supply
is to nurse as often as possible. I haven't read any of your previous posts so I don't know why you are giving formula, but the more supplements of non bm that you give, the less your body knows to make and it's a viscious cycle. Are you pumping at all? Other than galactologues, what else are you doing to increase your supply? Have you worked with an LC at all? How old is your baby? Anyway, that's the inquisitin over - the more info we have the better we can help you! "Vijay" wrote in message om... Hi.

My peak amounts of galactagogues was 10 10 mg domperidone pills (3 3 2
2), and 3 500 mg fenugreek pills 4 x a day, and 1 300 mg chasteberry 1 x a day. I originally took 140 mg chasteberry a day which was just as good, but I found a cheaper source that was 300 mg. I have read taking too much chasteberry can have an opposite effect. Then I drank tons of water (it really makes a difference) and ate lots of oatmeal. Early on I took blessed thistle, but didn't find it helpful. I also drank mother's milk tea here and there. Good luck, KC (Vijay) wrote in message . com... Hi.
