Fenugreek Dose

[Pandora]

Did it affect your bubs napies when you took the tablet form? I wonder if that makes a difference?

[razzle]

Hi rayray, didn't affect DS but then we never have a shortage of dirty nappies in this house - sometimes 5 before lunch time!!! - so I may not have noticed. A naturopath did tell me that Fenugreek can cause an upset tummy in bubs so she suggested drinking Fennel tea, which apparently aids in digestion and can also boost milk supply!

Well I've started taking the tablets so we will see what happens.... I'll let you know about the pooey nappies too, Jett only does a poo every 7 days so I'll know if there are any upset tums!!

I got an uspet tummy with Fenugreek and so did DS, he got wind pain and explosive poos

I actually found Blessed thisle and alfalfa tabs all MUCH BETTER!!

I also had tryed domperidone

Good Luck

I used it when DS was having growth spurts and feeding alot.

I started taking 2 caps, 3 times a day but I found I was getting these really dull, annoying headaches.
So I cut it down to 1 cap, 3 times a day and it was fine. Supply increased nicely
Definitely worth a shot!

I think it was about 3 days, but a really noticeable increase was more obvious at about 1.5 weeks. So it wasn't instant, but it was def worth it.

I was taking 3 tablets 3 times a day. I noticed a slight increase in supply but not much. DS also got horrid poo's so i stopped. I'm now taking Motilium and my supply is so much better and it doesn't affect DS at all.

oh everything smells like golden syrup to me haha
I have 3 tablets 3 times a day. And after 2 days even my pee smelt like it... sorry if TMI lol
Ashton started smelling like it too But you only have to take it until you are happy with your supply. I stopped about a week ago and my supply has stayed the same.

mis tree the dose to increase your supply is 2 tabs 3 times a day, so maybe just try a couple more hun?

[Kitt3n]

no probs hun, i hope it helps!!

I started on two caps 3 times a day, but found it didn't do a whole lot for me, so I increased to 3 caps 3 times a day until my level was established and have since dropped back down the dosage. I think once you can smell it in your sweat or wee then you have hit your dosage limit. I could never smell it on me, but just found it worked once I found the correct dose.
