has anyone tried fenugreek and did it work?

[motherbeyond]

i've been worried from the start about supply.ds is 9 weeks now,and this morning and yestrday morn i noticd his nappy was practically dry,whereas it's usually really wet.

he is still weeing but not as frequently.still has at least one dirty nappy.

still wants feeds all the time.(had to park halfway home to feed him and had only fed him 30 mins before)

i can only hear him swallowing sometimes and others just sounds as if he's sucking air,then fusses on and off the breast and then cries.

my breasts are soft, although i know that happens after a while.

i'm just worried he's not getting enough...
but then he is very smiley and alert.he wouldn't do that if he was starving would he?

i haven't taken him to be weighed because the hv wasn't very helpful re weight gain

apologies to tiktok and others,who answered my pleas for help 6 weeks ago!!

just don't think there's enough milk and thought id try fenugreek.

Hi,
yes I tried it and can't really say if it worked or not as I used it in conjunction with lots of other things- switch nursing, expressing, two hourly feeding. My milk supply did improve though.

I would just keep feeding as often as you can and perhaps get his weight checked out just to set your mind as rest.

I used it and it worked amazingly well. I took a lot of capsules though - around 12 a day for 4 days I think. After 48 hours I could really notice a difference.

I tried it and I think it did work a little. But I did smell strongly of maple syrup for a long time.

that sounds promising..i'll have to go back to work part time in sept and i'd really like to carry on bf..but i can't express.

would also be nic to go to the gym!!

hopefully if i have more milk i can express more?
