Fenugreek didn't do anything for me except make me smell like maple syrup.
Neither did brewer's yeast. Which made me smell like dog biscuits. LOL
Neither did switch nursing or any of the other techniques. I have a double electric Medela breastpump and it worked to get milk out but did not work in increasing my supply, oddly enough. Believe me, I am the first to be skeptical when people say they didn't make enough milk, but I really didn't. As soon as I stopped taking the pills, which are called Motilium or domperidone, GEL, my supply dried up. Despite the fact that BabyPot was still nursing every bit as much as she was before. They were literally a godsend for someone like me.
Julie, my sister had the same problem as you. Her babies were gassy and fussy at the breast because there was so dang much milk. Boy, motherhood aint easy that's for sure.
My other two did okay with milk. Ironically enough, this baby is chubby and doesn't resemble my other two kids at all in shape. And she's the one who's now going to get skinny because she won't drink anything but water, lol. I can't win.
I was an extremely small child so I never thought anything weird about my first daughter being so small. Just figured she took after me, who was only 29 pounds in the 2nd grade. When she started eating table food in earnest, and packing on the pounds and shedding some of her fussiness, I was devastated to think that I had played a part in it. Live and learn right.
Anyway, Lass, I bought the domperidone from an online Canadian pharmacy. No prescription necessary. Yes I realized the risks inherent in such a purchase but it was a risk I was willing to take. With the first baby, online pharmacies weren't really out there yet, so I had to order it from a company in New Zealand and try to finagle around the time zone change (night vs. day).
