>I would like specific Fenugreek directions for inc. milk supply, please. >Should a mother do a tea, or capsules? Kathleen There is tea, capsule and tincture. Tinctures are usually more potent than capsules. The following is what I have found effective. I'm sure other recommendations and other companies would be effective, but I stick with what I've had success with. I find the Nature's Way company to be a reputable one and use their herbs when they are available. Most health-food stores carry this brand. They are Nature's Way Products, Inc., America's Natural Healthcare Company, 10 Mountain Springs Parkway, Springville, UT,84663. Their Fenugreek capsule is 610 mg each and I recommend beginning with 1 capsule 4 times a day, increasing to 5 a day on day 2. I have had success with this dosage. Some mothers, on their own, have increased to 6 after seeing improvement in their supply and wanting to speed it up. Also some choose to take 2 at a time instead of trying to remember to take something 4 or 5 times. I recommend one week of the herb. The initial boost (24-48 hrs) becomes a steady increase for the rest of the week. Of course, frequent feeding or pumping is essential. Patricia Gima, IBCLC Milwaukee mailto:[log in to unmask]
