I recently heard from another lactation professional that attended the CLC
course that new research is showing that Fenugreek is unsafe. It thins the
blood, causes blood sugar issues and other dangerous outcomes. I have always
known there are some concerns about blood sugar and that there are people
that Fenugreek might not be good for, but "dangerous" and no longer
recommended? She also said a study  showed that it did not increase milk
supply at all.
Is it that serious? Wouldn't we be seeing a lot more problems?

Also, she said Reglan is now considered useless as well. It was shown in a
study not to increase milk.

So, no Fenugreek, no Reglan and no Domperdone. I have no problem with the
Reglan going away, it has side effects that are scary and worth serious
consideration. But thousands of years of herbal use (Fenugreek) and all the
sudden it's dangerous and doesn't work? It just seems fishy to me.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Micky
