Need to boost supply

[wukter]

I'm feeling a bit rundown and tired and I think 5mo DD is going through a growth spurt or getting ready for weaning. At any rate she is v hungry, extra night wakings etc, and I feel I need a boost.

So I sent DP to health food shop to ask about Fenugreek for me, she sent him home with Fenugreek seeds and Fennel Tea - are eithet of those any good to me?

I believe fennel tea is helpful. As for fenugreek, I used capsules rather than seeds when I used it - you need a rather substantial dose so that might be an awful lot of seeds! Be warned too...the fenugreek leaves you with wee that smells of maple syrup and armpits that smell of curry...niiiiice!

Hope your supply picks up soon.

actually, just found this on dosage - includes seeds

and more advice here. Sorry for multiple posts - feeding DD and entertaining DS at the same time!

Thanks, Mrs Kitty.
