Hi all - thanks for the replies on alfalfa - I guess I had not given the possible reactions enough thought. I've been mostly recommending it because it worked so well as a laxative for me, and with a pretty severe tear and countless stitches, this was high priority for me ;-). Then to find it did all these other neat things, well, it seemed ideal... But after reading your wise points, maybe I'll just recommend it if a laxative is needed (or - how novel, perhaps just a high-fiber diet...) and also keep in mind for milk supply. However, maybe this would be an answer for the mom in the original question who is concerned w/ jaundice and getting milk to come in faster? Thanks for the enlightenment.
