Avatar f tn Oops sorry *blessed thistle, not milk thistle.. Milk on the brain lol! There are also breastfeeding support tablets that are made with both of those ingredients, one brand is "herbs of gold" you should be able to get them from your local health food store.
Avatar f tn A week ago I gave up breastfeeding, but since I'm still producing milk I decided too start up again, so since baby has been drink formula he I'm not making as much. Anything too help produce more milk?
Avatar f tn Pump EACH time your baby feeds (and in between if you can) They say 15 mins each side, but in my case it would sometimes take a total of 45 minutes. Fennugreek, blessed thistle, mothers milk tea...these are all good for boosting milk supply and are safe. I have never been able to successfully breastfeed and have solely pumped and bottle fed two of my babies... one for 3 months the other for 6 months.
Avatar f tn Worried my breast milk may not come in again like with my first born.... Anyone do anything for this?
Avatar f tn No it's not too late. Just keep nursing him more frequently and inbetween nursing pump. Its going to be tough and alot of work but it's supply and demand type of thing. The more your body thinks he wants by pumping in between the more it will produce.
10807336 tn?1416353236 The breastfeeding consultant from the hospital told me to take fenugreek and blessed thistle for milk production. You can find them at a health food store.
Avatar n tn Why are you considering taking milk thistle? Do you have liver disease? Milk thistle hasn’t really shown much in the way of clinical evidence of being effective for treating liver injury.
Avatar f tn you can make it go back up by consistantly pumping ur milk is made on supply and demand so if u pump and nurse consistantly it will raise back up dont get discouraged it takes a bit to get it goin good again but it works.
Avatar f tn So I'm just wondering has anyone had experience with fenugreek for breastfeeding? Does it really work to get your milk supply up?

Avatar m tn How many among you are taking or have taken Milk Thistle. I started taking one tablet a day and Doc was amazed to see decline in the Viral Load from 11000 to 120 in less than 3 months. Cant be absolute if this was because of Milk Thistle or something else.. No diff on ALT remained 80.. rest normal.
Avatar f tn I forgot to tell you after you go to mayo clinic review of milk thistle you go to the site that says Milk Thistle and under that it has Mayo Clinic and it does give a web address www.mayoclinic.com/health/silymarin/NS-patient-milkthistle/ I tried it and can't get there so it is easier to just do it like I said.

1209036 tn?1299178657 If you are going to exclusively pump you REALLY need a hospital grade pump in order to build your supply and maintain it. You can also try taking fenugreek, alfalfa, blessed thistle and mothers milk tea and brewers yeast I am doing the same thing and here is what I have done. I took fenugreek and alfalfa for a few weeks. Everytime Lily eats, I pump after. I don't really time myself but I pump for ATLEAST 20 minutes or until I don't get anything for 2 minutes or more.
Avatar f tn We do have the right to express our opinions, with a few exceptions, health matters being one of them, that arena needs peer reviewed science. Did I miss something regarding milk thistle? The main point seems to be milk thistle "walls" off the live preventing it from doing its job.
Avatar f tn I am planning on going back to get another blood test soon, however, wanted to share with the group that I started taking Milk Thistle about three weeks ago to see whether this might help lower my enzyme levels to normal. What I have been finding is that I no longer need to take the prilosec or zantac, there is something (or appears to be something) in the Milk Thistle that is both helping me feel better as well as well as lowering my need for prilosec or other antacids.
Avatar f tn I'm breastfeeding my son and for about the past 24 hrs my left breast has not been producing much milk at all. I've noticed my breast has been smaller after long periods so I pumped to see and within a four hour period I will pump about 1 ounce. I don't just strictly have him on my breast. I pump as well. And store. My left breast has always produced less but now I feel as if I'm losing my milk supply. He's only 5 wks old and I do NOT want to stop breastfeeding.
Avatar m tn I was diagnosed with Hep-c and Cirrhosis on Jan.5th 2015.....both Chronic ? My viral load is 676 , my meld score is 12....I have no idea what any of this means ? I'm 54 years old ! I have no insurance and Ive been turned down from Medicaid 2 times...Which means No G.I. Doctor , in fact no Dr. at all but a Primary Doctor at a clinic here in Savannah Ga. ! He informed me he knows absolutely nothing about liver disease's etc.
