RE: Q:increase breast milk

[Guest guest]

Hi Carmen

Herbs that increase breast milk:

blessed thistle, fennel, fenugreek, and milk thistle if it seems indicated

Don’t forget about Guinness beer,

even a quarter bottle/day will help – an old treatment that does work

I would look at hp pulsatilla too if the

baby wants to be held all the time

Also look at EFAs for the mom and make

sure she is drinking enough water and eating enough good food and is still on

some type of prenatal vitamin

Also, if she is stressed or anxious (about

not producing enough milk) this will decrease her milk, so B-vitamins, oatstraw

tea and skullcap may be indicated and are all safe for her and baby.

Q:increase

breast milk

Dear Unda Group

Any suggestions regarding

remedies to improve milk production? Client has 6 week old, has been able to

nurse so far, but baby is wanting to be held all the time .Will be giving

homeopathic chamomile to baby as well as HMF Neogen.

Baby is putting on weight just fine.Mom is afraid her milk is

not adequate, same thing happened with her first child, she stopped nursing at

six weeks .

Thanking you all in advance
