Guest guest Posted February 20, 1999 Report Share Posted February 20, 1999 Fenugrek is an herb. I used it with my last child to increase milk supply. The only bad side effect is that you smell like maple syrup. It can also lower your blood sugar. a indigomoon wrote: > > > Hello Wendi, > Sorry to butt in ) > What's Fenugreek?

Guest guest Posted February 20, 1999 Report Share Posted February 20, 1999 , I know someone already answered but fenugreek is an herb and the seeds are what is used. I have been taking the capsules. It has helped increase my milk but isn't helping the pumping thing. We got goat milk again and Zaid is loving it. He seems to like the taste even better than cows milk. He seems to be loving nursing even more now that I have more milk. My husband said I don't smell like maple syrup, but like a health food store. It hasn't seemed to affect my blood sugar adversly although I have been a little hungrier. I have trouble with my blood sugar so I am glad its not a problem. I am pleased with the effect. Wendi Re: fenugreek update From: Mparker90@... Wendi, I am so glad to hear that fennugreek is working for you. I tried it in the beginning of my milk supply problem and it did not work very well.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 1999 Report Share Posted February 21, 1999 Wendi, I don't know what is going on with these pics. I will try again, if it still isn't working I will re do them. Some of my friends got them with no problem...who knows. I know what you mean about nipples sorness and teething. Hope resolve comes soon.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 1999 Report Share Posted February 21, 1999 Wendi, That is probably what happened with me. I needed pumping results and the fennugreek didn't do it. I don't even remember feeling fuller, but I could have been. Have you tried massage and warm compresses prior to pumping? Just a thought.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 1999 Report Share Posted February 23, 1999 Wendi, Wow...sounds like you had some fun with your dh. Good for you. We must take care of ourselves in order to continue being the best parents we can be, right? I am just glad the fennugreek is working!
