Don't know anything about the ILCA study, but I was intrigued by an abstract
I read in ABM News, from the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine's Annual
Meeting last September--

"Effect of Fenugreek on Breast Milk Volume.  Stephanie Swafford, MD and
Pamela Berens, MD, University of Texas-Houston Medical Center, Houston, TX. .
. .  Methods: Ten women dept diaries of their breast milk production for two
weeks.  The first week established baseline milk production.  During the
second week three capsules of fenugreek seed were taken three times daily.
This observational study used each patient as her own control in comparing
breast milk production with and without the fenugreek.  Results: Average
daily pump volumes for week 1 and week 2 were compared.  These values were
statistically analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed rank test.  The average
daily milk volume for week 1 was 207 ml compared to 464 for week 2.  This
increase was statistically significant (P=0.004). . . .
