Hi Ladies,
A couple of weeks ago I had major issues with my reflux DD taking preference to bottles because that's what I put her medicine in.
She ended up having a major reaction to the Infant Gaviscon, we are now using organic rice cereal (I should have thought about this first!)
I have removed bottles and found my supply had hit rock bottom because of all the refusal and comping with bottles.
I bought the medela swing and for the last week and a bit have been pumping after every BF'ing attempt.....
As of the day before yesterday, DD took my boobs all day and all night with the exception of 1 bottle at bedtime because by evening my supply was non-existent.
I bought some fenugreek caps (natures own 1000mg) and started them yesterday...would you believe that last night I pumped 50mls in 15 minutes vs 10 mls in 30 minutes?![]()
As soon as I can get to 100mls expressed, I'll get rid of that bedtime bottle, but I have a question (sorry for the long winded intro)
Is the fenugreek going to have any effects on myself or bub if used long term?
Is my milk going to drop as soon as I stop taking it?
I should also say I suffer from PCOS with severe insulin resistance but because I want to extend feed my DD I am not on metformin, so I expected some issues with milk.
Thanks as always for your help xxx
