Ellen said:  "It seems that the timing of the mentioned study would not be
indicative
of the actual effect of fenugreek as there would be the natural increase
in milk production from week one to week two anyway."

I'd like to know more about this study, too, but I don't think that week one
was from birth.  I was trying to be concise so didn't type in the whole
abstract.  The stated objective was "To assess the effect of fenugreek on
breast milk production in exclusively breast-pumping women," so I'm guessing
these were women who'd been pumping for a while.  Anyway, we recommend
fenugreek frequently and I sure haven't ever seen milk production more than
double with its use, so I'd like to read the whole study.
