Guest guest Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Yep, it is a very good galactagog. There are several other herbs that you can use. The best combo is called more milk plus. You can get it at hole foods. Are you nursing on demand? Its important to only breastfeed rite now until your milk is established. Why do you think you need to increase your supply?

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I have breastfed 5 of my kids fpor a total of twelve years.. (including twins) and I highly recommend Brewer`s yeast to improve milk production, It doubles milk supply overnight.Take note.. don`t use baking yeast.make sure it`s BREWER`S YEAST...take approx one tablespoon 3 times a day in milk or water. I used to have TORULLA BREWER`S YEAST... but the flaky brewers yeast is good too. it`s the B vitamins in brewers yeast which increase milk flow.--- In , " Deanna " <younghippie wrote: > > Has anyone heard of the herb Fenugreek improving the flow of breast > milk?
