I was on the phone with a woman expecting her third child. She has not been
successful with her first two. Of course there could be insufficient
glandular tissue, but there are plenty of things that could have contributed
to low milk supply. She had no help with the latch and thinks the babies
were never on well as her nipples were cracked and bleeding. She asked for
help ahead of time and I outlined the help we could give. She asked if there
were anything she could do before the baby came and I thought I would check
with the experts on lactnet as well as the "Guru," Dr. Newman. Would
fenugreek be of any help/harm before the baby is born? Is there anything
else you all would recommend?
