 Has anyone ever heard of using Fenugreek or Reglan to increase milk supply

Dear Suzanne,
Yes.
A mom is currently doing this in my area.  She previously breastfed 4
children completely.  That marriage ended.  She married again and had the
reduction surgery.  Since then she has had 2 more children and breastfed
using the SNS.  The herbs increase her milk supply so she needs much less
formula.  Currently the 3 month old baby is about 1/2 to 2/3 breastmilk fed.
The mother only breastfeeds, supplements at the breast  with SNS during the
day and uses the breast alone at night.  Baby is gaining very well.
