Here's one source of  goat's rue tincture:

If this mother was interested in/comfortable with herbal remedies, you 
could point her toward the book, "The Nursing Mother's Herbal" by Sheila 
Humphrey
--here's a review  :http://www.lalecheleague.org/NB/NBMayJune04p100.html

Another good reference on herbals, with links to more:

LCs walk such a fine line between providing information and 
prescribing.   Mothers need to see galactogogues, not a magic bullet in 
themselves, but as complementing the day-to-day strategy of steady 
mother-baby contact and effective, frequent  milk removal

 I'm also trying to convey just that to a pregnant mother who had 
ongoing supply problems with her first baby.  (It's great that she's 
preparing herself and getting information and making plans,  but she 
also has to be in-the-moment as the new  situation unfolds with *this* 
baby.  There's that saying that generals are always prepared to fight 
the previous war....)

I'm really looking forward to Diana West and Lisa Marasco's upcoming 
book on milk supply issues -- we need all the tools we can get on this 
topic.
