How many of you used this while breastfeeding and what did you like/dislike about it?? How long did it take to see results?

I used it when I was trying to up my supply. I don't know really how much it helped because i was nursing and pumping like mad to build my supply again after I quit working with #1 son. I worked for a total of 5 weeks it totaly sabatoged my supply. I got my supply back up after a few weeks.

I took Fenugreek capsules (3 pills 3 time a day), and I thought it really helped. I was also exclusively nursing, and my dd wanted to nurse very frequently. I was also told by a lactation consultant that you can take Blessed Thistle capsules in conjunction with the Fenugreek to get the best results (same dosage as above). Make sure your baby is nursing at least 8-12 times a day (preferrably one time being between 2 and 6 am), more often to bump up your supply. As long as he's gaining weight and having plenty of wet diapers, he's probably getting enough. You can also pump extra too, which will help to increase your supply. The only thing about taking Fenugreek is that it can make your urine and sweat smell like maple syrup, but I figured that was a small price to pay to be able to exclusively nurse my baby, and it did work well for me.

Try taking the Blessed Thistle along with the Fenugreek. I was told by my lactation consultant that's supposed to be even more effective. Good luck!!
