I have been using fenugreek since my little one was about 3 or 4 weeks old. He is now almost 12 weeks but was born 6 weeks early. I didn't start expressing straight after he was born and I think this is why my supply was low to begin with. It looks like the fenugreek has stopped working. I started off taking 1 tablet 3 times a day but recently it's been 2, 3 times a day. Two days ago, I felt like I had no milk. LO sucks differently at the end of a feed and that's been happening at the start and he hasn't really had that boob drunk look and he's been waking a lot more recently. If he doesn't fall asleep during a feed he would suck his fists and do a head bobbing thing that signals he's hungry after every feed. We have been getting wet nappies but no real big poo's in the past couple if days.
Not sure if I should stop taking the fenugreek slowly or can just stop. If I do pump and feed to get the milk up do I need to supplement or will just feeding be enough.
I am going to call a bf support line but just wondered if anyone has been in this position before.
Thanks in advance
