[blparent] Breast milk production treatments

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I couldn't remember the name phenugreek, but that's one of the herbs in More 
Milk Plus, and also in the Mother's Milk Tea that I bought.  It's not 
advisable to take phenugreek during pregnancy, though.  Not that it's bad 
for the baby, but I think I remember reading that it can cause early 
contractions.  I can't recall for sure, though, since it's been a long time, 
so anybody who wants to know should do her own research.

And yes, I got very used to oatmeal and barley for breakfast, lunch, and 
dinner!

Phenugreek is another herbal remedy used to increase milk production. I
also ate oatmeal and barley for almost every meal to help. They did put
me on reglan once other remedies were not working. I had previously been
on Reglan to help with acid reflux during my first trimester when the
nausea was severe. It does, however, have some pretty extreme side
affects that you should be aware of, fatigue being the least of them. If
you're producing milk, I would suggest sticking to other methods and
avoiding reglan unless an extreme case like mine where no milk was
producing, and even then, be very aware of the possible side affects.
