OK- here's one for you all- I have permission to post this question.
 I have a mom who had a breast reduction 5 years ago that included nipple
repositioning. She delivered 3 weeks ago- really wanted to breastfeed. Has
very slight breastchanges during pregnancy and post partum and we started
on fenugreek due to infant weight loss/low production. Slight improvement
but we went up on the dosing to 2 QID (4000 mg).. mom noticed about a week
ago that son's breast buds were swollen and had Drs. check it out. Now mom
has called and said that son's breasts are leaking milk (?) and asks if the
fenugreek could be causing this. Since it does stimulate prolactin
receptors does enough pass through maternal milk to influence the son? I
never have encountered this... any ideas?
TIA- Lisa Jones RN RLC IBCLC
