Gosh! I could write a thesis on Galactogogues! If you don’t know what the hell a Galactogogue is, trust me I didn’t either. But I bet if I named a few, you’d know exactly I what I was talking about. They are those herbs now sold almost anywhere and these herbs are intended to increase milk supply. Popular herbs include: Fenugreek, Fennel, Milk Thistle and more. Everyone is pretty in love with with products from Legendary milk. While, I am not going to tell you which brand to choose, I will say for the most part they all contain the same herbs just in very different quantities. And while it’s tempting to take them all, some do more harm that good. It’s difficult to know exactly what is best but I here steer you in the right direction.
Fenugreek, for example has been the staple for many new moms but recently mothers have noticed that while an increase in supply was observed, it also caused colic (consist crying) in newborns.
How to choose one that is right for you:
I will create a plan of action and steps to take on a daily basis to reach your goals. Each set of momma’s circumstances will be different and I will ensure that individualized weekly plans are set in place to help boost your milk supply in accordance to your lifestyle, along with my own personal opinion on which herbs are best.
I can absolutely help in anyway I can but ultimately you know your body (and baby) best. I am here to guide you with my personal and educational knowledge, and bring my own areas of expertise to better equip you on your breastfeeding journey. It is such an intimate part of motherhood and I want to help you feel empowered in anyway I can.
