Debbie,

You asked re Sheila Humphrey's suggestion for another herb when fenugreek is 
not effective.  Might it have been milk thistle?  Dosage is "1 heaping 
teaspoon (3-5 grams) freshly chopped seeds in 5 oz boiling water, steep 20-30 min.  
Take up to 5-6 times a day."--direct quote from her book.  I don't have her 
info on tincture use but have the following from two different sources: 3-5 ml 
tincture, 3x/day or caps, 500 mg 3x/day per Mechell Turner, IBCLC and herbalist, 
 and a different doseage for caps of 200mg, 3x/day per LC colleague who's 
told me this is from Dr Low Dog conference.

The other herb that Sheila discussed when I heard her a few yr ago at LLL 
conference is shatavari but I've yet to learn whether a dosage has been decided 
upon; it is listed in Sheila's book as galactagogue and there's been past 
discussion on the BF herb site re its use.

Hope this helps.  Warmly,  Barbara Latterner, BSn, RN, IBCLC
