I'm not sure what Dr. Lawrence reported, but  after carefully rereading Tom 
Hale this am I would guess that any untoward effects are dose related. He 
mentions 2-3 caps 3 times a day.  He also lists a study done showing a 
significant increase in milk supply.  Common sense (I find this is woefully 
lacking in today's society ) would say to decrease the dose if side effects 
are seen   in mom or baby!
Tom says " The transfer of fenugreek into milk is unknown, but untoward 
effects have only rarely been reported."  he cites 8 references.  I 
personally believe what Tom has to say, not Baby Talk Magazine (dependent on 
formula adv:-(
I went to Dr Greene's website and found a statement by him.  He is pro 
breastfeeding from what I read.
Dr Jay Gordon's website has an entry on fenugreek and to start with i cap 
TID and increase slowly. (Which  is how I tell moms to use it.)  I would 
imagine if you start off with 3 caps/3 times day someone will get a stomach 
ache!

Which one of Lactnet's great writers  wants to write the eloquent letter to 
Baby Talk?  Pat
