Herbs such as fennel seed, red raspberry leaf, stinging nettle and fenugreek have long been credited with inducing lactation by stimulating milk supply in breastfeeding mothers.
Fenugreek is one of the most common herbal remedies for increasing milk supply. It is an excellent galactogogue (milk stimulator) and has been used traditionally by nursing mothers.
The effect of fenugreek on milk production is generally noticable within 72 hours (although it may take longer for some). An unusual side effect of taking Fenugreek is you may notice you smell very sweet – just like maple syrup! This is often an indicator that you’re taking the correct dose as your sweat and urine begin to smell like maple syrup. If you're having problems with any side effects, discontinue use and consider alternative methods of increasing milk supply.
Most mothers have found that the herb can be discontinued once milk production is stimulated to an appropriate level. Adequate production is usually maintained as long as sufficient breast stimulation and emptying continues.
Fenugreek is also used as a flavouring herb in cooking, and plays a major role in herbal healing. Fenugreek has been found to have many uses, particularly for the digestive, respiratory and female reproductive systems.
