A friend of mine today when I told her I actually had nothing to write about told me I should talk about this and I thought it was a great idea!
So as breastfeeding moms know in the beginning you have so much milk its crazy! but normally your supply dies down. and sometimes it dies down to where you have hardly any milk. Instead of taking prescription meds there are a lot of natural PERFECTLY safe supplements you can take!
A great website is www.kellymom.com
You do not have to ask your dr about these because they are safe and natural for you and baby!
I take these as well and have for about 5 months.
Fenugreek
4 to 5 tablets, 3 times a day = 12 to 15 pills per day
These pills do not work if you take less then 6 a day (kellymom says so)
You know you are taking enough when you smell like maple syrup. ( & I mean every part of you smells)
Blessed Thistle
3 to 4 tablets, 3 times a day= 9 to 12 pills per day
( can be taken with fenugreek for better results)
More Milk Plus
follow directions on bottle,
this is a natural tablet that has a few natural supplements in one tablet
( can be taken with fenugreek and blessed thistle for better results)
You can also try a few teas that they make. They do not taste very good but they work
Earth Mama Milkmaid Tea
Mother's Milk Tea
Yogi Women's Nursing Support
I am glad that you liked my idea for this post! :) You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteI agree the mothers milk tea is not yummy, even with some honey in it.
