Blessed Thistle
Has anyone had any luck increasing supply with Blessed Thistle only? Fenugreek really works, but seems to hurt my dd's stomach and the domperidone (90mg a day) isn't doing anything and my supply seems to be rapidly decreasing

Re: Blessed Thistle
Generally speaking Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle work best when taken together. Have you thought about taking Goat's Rue? Or also, Motherlove also makes just "More Milk" and it does not contain the Fenugreek. Best of luck to you mama!

Re: Blessed Thistle
Hmmm, I don't think I've ever taken it apart from Fenugreek. (taken in combination) It may counteract the effects that Fenugreek is having on your DD

Re: Blessed Thistle
How old is ur DD? I was taking it, before I realized it was upseting my son's stomach. It didn't click till after he was a year old, tho. he did eventually out grow it. I was taking 3 pills 3 times a day of fenugreek, 3x3 of blessed thistle and goats rue, in the tiniture form. It was nasty, but it worked. Have u tried power pumping? Could ur LO just be going thru a growht spurt?

Re: Blessed Thistle
Are you drinking enough water? Have you been fitted for the correct size breast shield? What are you doing while you pump? If you are just sitting there thinking about the amount of milk you may/may not get then it can negatively affect the amount you're able to pump. An IBCLC in my area told me to try Rescue Remedy to calm myself before nursing. It could help when you are pumping also. HTH's!!
