I have on occasion said to a mom who I perceive to be receptive to non-traditional treatments that I have heard such and such an herbal may be effective. At the same time, I tell her that I am not an expert on the subject. We have a local private practice LC who frequently suggests herbal and homeopathic approaches and on a couple of occasions I have referred moms to her when I felt she might benefit from and be receptive to such an approach. On the other hand, we do frequently suggest More Milk and More Milk Plus (more so than fenugreek alone) which is, of course, herbal, now that it is available locally. I tell a mom that herbal remedies are controversial with many docs and that I can't tell her how they work or even if it will in her case, but that we have heard very positive reports from moms that have found it helpful. I think this covers my you-know-what. It is given as a suggestion without any guarantees and I don't think it could be considered "prescribing".
