I had a mom with serious oversupply.  She was following the protocol for
reducing the supply, but it wasn't working.  I had her keep a food diary
with everything that went into her mouth.  There was alfalfa.  She
eliminated it and her supply was adjusted to meet her baby's needs.

There are numerous nutritional benefits in alfalfa, so I don't discourage
it if there isn't an oversupply problem.

So, I believe that it can be a part of our galatagogue list.
