I have a number of moms that have used fenugrek with varying success.  I
usually recommend the tea first, steeped for 5 min until it's strong,
drinking 3 to 4 cups a day.  If  some moms do not like tea or prefer
capsules, I suggest a 10 day course with either 2 caps  three time a days or
3 caps three time a day with meals.  I tell the moms this is not magic, it
works best in combination with good emptying and filling of the breast.  I
have had two moms report diarrhea when on the caps and as soon as they
discontinued the caps the diarrhea resolved. Hope this helps.
