Hi, Jay! How ya doing?
I think that you certainly have put the mom on the right track. IMO,
though, *if* the mom has no allergy problems (especially ragweed),
*because* *she* wants to try herbs, it might relieve some of her
stress, put her more into control, to try fenugreek, brewer's yeast
and chamomille tea (the last will relax her - I swear by it). This is,
of course, your judgment call, since you are in contact with her.
Lately, I have been impressed by how important control is to many
people... This may be especially important issue for this mom, who
"lost control" of her body by giving birth prematurely, "lost control"
of her babies to the medical professionals because of their
prematurity, is now struggling with "control" over her body with
breastfeeding. With some people, it is an issue, with others not.
Again, your call.
Good luck and best regards. Judy Knopf in Beer Sheva, Israel
