    Okay I made a poll, I don't know how scientific it will be since you are probably all eating varying quantities - 1 bowlful or 3 LOL. But just something to get an idea.

    i made them yesterday as the last week i noticed they havent been 'restocking' so to speak, dd was weighed and only put on 100g in 9 days, her earlier gain was 350 in 10days.
    i ate the dogh and a boot load of cookies, and they were almost bursting this morning and bub was boobie drunk for the first time all week at each feed today, so im going with a yes for them working.

    I got mine from a health food store (the flaxseed as well), but you can also get it from Big W in the home brewing section.

    This batch I used a combo of dry brewers yeast from Woolies and fresh brewers yeast from DH's brew trub (he saves it for me) I used glace cherries, chocolate chips, desiccated coconut and cocoa to make them Cherry Ripe flavoured.

    My boobs are spraying like a fire hose. I am waking up wet in the night in a way I haven't since the early durly days. They are mental.

    I haven't had an increase, my supply has actually dropped a bit but I think that that is because the night that I made them my wisdom decided that enough was enough with the peasized cavities and had me in agony so I didn't get to express much over the next few days... but, I have noticed that my milk is creamier after eating them (eg I get more hind milk than normal whereas normally I have HEAPS of foremilk and only a small amount of hindmilk) and I think they are helping a little bit in my attemps to get my supply back up too (I can feel letdown a lot more now than I used to before eating them).
