Here's my question.  She asked me about Fenugeek and Mother's Milk
>Tea.  Does she need to do this or will it come back on its own from nursing
>and hydration????Thanks in advance, I admit I have alot to learn.

Jenny, with her sensitive stomach, I would recommend that she drink the
Mother's Milk Tea, trying a cup to see how it sits, then, if all is well,
continuing it as a drink of choice as she re-hydrates.

The fenugreek *might* be an irritant in her healing GI tract.  I don't base
this on anything other than my "gut" feeling. (Pun?)

I have known many mothers with a decrease in milk supply with such an
illness who regained their supply with fluids and good nutrition.  This was
long before I knew about any specific galatagogues.

Also, oatmeal is reputed to be a galatagogue and would be a good healing food.
