Esther, Although I don't have experience using alfalfa
with increasing milk supply it is mentioned several times in Robin
Lim's Book "After the baby's birth-A woman's way to wellness" on pages
69, 72, 156. She states that alfalfa is high is folic acid, Vits A,
D, E and K and has many important digestive enzymes. She mentions the
use of it in dairy farming for cows and goats to help them increase
their milk supply! (they usually eat the sprouts not drink the tea)
Robin also says that is is very good in helping get the pelvic floor
back in shape along with kegels.(has an action on connective tissue.
In Susun Weed's Wise Woman Herbal for the childbearing year on page 85
she mentions alfalfa as a galactogogue.
If you find more information I'd love to hear about it.
