I had a call today. Mom has a long hx of supply problems, even used SNS
for 1 yr with first babe. This babe she was very anxious, she's had
several home visits, numerous trips in for wt. checks. She has been
taking Fenugreek since delivery (3 caps q 3-4 hrs). Babe was 7-14 at
birth (2 mos ago), last week he was 11-6.
She talked to an herbalist that seemed "alarmed" that she was taking so
much, she stated that it could mess up hormone level. Mom decreased to
6-8/24hr. She now c/o a sudden, drastic decrease in supply approx 2
wks after decrease in Fenugreek. Not feeling full, breasts soft,
nipples even look different. She no longer smells like maple. States
that her breasts look "pre-pregnancy". Babe fewer diapers, rooting
around of hands, otherwise, no change.
Anyone heard of long term effects? Change in hormone level?
