Many thanks to all of you replied to my question about this herb
being used to increase milk supply.  Below is a synopsis of the
responses that I received.

Mothers milk tea:  one - 4 cups per day, seep for 5 minutes

Fenugreek: anywhere from 5 to 15 caps per day spaced into 3 daily
doses

Alfalfa Tabs: 4 in the am and 4 at bedtime

Blessed Thistle: 2-3 caps 3 times per day

Fennel: 2-3 caps 3 times per day

Seems to me that it is a bit of trial and error and that perhaps a
combination of these may work best depending on the mom.

Thanks again to all who replied.
