Re: galactagogues and reflux

[Guest guest]

The reflux could be caused by baby being able to drink more milk now and not handling it because he had to work so hard before. BUT, I have seen one mom who's little boy was very uncomfortable, gassy, diarrhea and reflux for quite some time until she quit taking the 9-12 fenugreek capsules a day and drinking mother's milk tea. She was an over producer also but always want to fill her bottles for storage, just in case. Cheryl n To: Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2012 10:27 AM Subject: galactagogues and reflux

I have a question about the use of galactagogues and infant reflux. Mom on More Milk Plus, (fenugreek, bl thistle, nettles and fennel), and baby has pretty severe reflux at times. Mom reduced the MM+ dosage and her supply has gone down a bit. I realize any herb can cause a sensitivity but wondered if others have experience with babies who react to ingredients in MM+ herbs. I've suggested muscle testing with it because it may have nothing to do with the herbals.

Baby had frenotomy, and is being seen by osteopath, and mom is being seen by naturopath for dietary issues, so these bases covered. Thank you.
