Chaste Berry can sometimes decrease milk supply. For some moms it can be very helpful to increase supply. I stay away from it, but it’s a great herb once weaned if history of low milk supply and hormonal deficiencies, irregular periods or severe PMS symptoms.June , RN From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Sent: Sunday, November 06, 2011 7:35 PMTo: Subject: Lactation Blend Dietary Supplement by Tori Hudson N.D.

Gotta mention that if these are powdered herbs in capsules, mom doesn't really know that they are what they say they are. . . Lynn in MO

I took this supplement myself, while struggling with my milk production. At the

dose suggested on the bottle, I didn't notice an increase in supply. I was also

taking other herbs. (I have posted my 'story' on this group before: only when I

started taking much higher doses of Fenugreek - along with various other things

such as this 'lactation blend' - did I suddenly see my production jump up to

where I needed it.)
