Hi Bonny,
Have a caution with alfalfa, according to the literature it is not
recommended in pregnancy and breastfeeding:
It contains a great deal of flavonoids, steroids, cumestans, vitamins and
minerals
Attributed effects though not clinically tested are: agonist of estrogen,
antianemic and diuretic.
Also, there is no reliable data that would support its use as galactagogue.
At latest update, relevant published data on excretion into breast milk
were not found.
Because its estrogenic effect it should not be consumed during pregnancy
and breastfeeding.
Caravanina which is one of the components, is toxic if continuously used.
Pancytopenia, Hemolytic anemia and Lupus Erythematosus have been described
as induced by frequent consumption of germinated-seeds or tablets of alfalfa

> Hi all,
> I am working with a mom who is expecting her 3rd baby. She has had

> day 10 with adequate supply and continued breastfeeding beyond one year
> with both children. We are discussing the use of 30mg of domperidone or

> expedite the onset of milk productioin. This would possibly be in addition
> to alfalfa and moringa beginning at 36wks. Likewise, maximizing hand

> like a reasonable plan.
> Many thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom and knowledge!
