We recommend our NICU moms start with 3 capsules tid. I have had a few mothers complain of GI symptoms which were relieved by doing the tapering dose. Most do fine starting on 3 capsules tid. MY question is how long should a mother stay on the 3 capsules tid. I usually suggest at least 2-3 weeks but wonder what everyone else is telling their patients.
