Birth Song Botanicals Let There Be Milk! Vegetarian Liquid Capsules – Fenugreek, Goat’s Rue, Blessed Thistle to Boost Milk Supply – Breastfeeding Supplement for Nursing & Pumping Moms, 60 Count

Short review- I believe this, paired with power pumping/ consistency with pumping, greatly enhanced my supply, going from 2oz from both breasts, to as much as 10 oz in a sitting from both breasts.Long review- forgive typing errors, I'm writing this at 3 a.m! So...I was struggling to keep up with my 4-5 week olds need for milk. I would nurse him on one side for over 20 minutes, and swap him to the other side, always ending in him crying. My spectre pump finally came in week four after a battle with insurance. I began taking this 5x a day (3 during the day and 2 at night time sessions) and didn't notice a change for the first 3 days. A slight increase came day 4, but nothing to write home about. Then, I noticed my night time pumps went from a yield of 2 oz total between breasts, to 4! It had doubled.. at night! My supply always dips towards the evenings. Feeling hopeful I went to sleep and woke up around 2 am for my "first shift" on the fifth day. 6 oz. I couldn't believe it. The second shift I was back down to 4 oz but I couldn't complain, his second sleep shift is always a bit shorter so that made sense to me. He gave me a long stretch after that, and my partner woke to give him the surplus bottle I created over night. (The first true surplus bottle I had made) and I got an extra two hours of sleep! I woke up around 7:30 am and was noticeably more engorged than normal, so I used a warm compress (I often do before I pump) and I made 8 oz!! Since then I have gotten as much as 10 oz in a single morning session and continue to get no less than 4 per pump sesh giving me anywhere from 6-10 extra oz each day to freeze! I believe it's in a large part do to this product. But I also did the following to boost my supply.I pump for 30 minutes at a setting of 4 or higher with my spectre double pump, every two hours. that seems to be the absolute best for me personally but have slipped and gone longer stretches because every 2 hours is hard to maintain. I also drink mothers milk tea and continued red raspberry leaf tea after birth.**** disclaimer- I'm not medically trained at all but I will warn you, take this product with food as the bottle says. If you have or are prone to having low blood pressure, start with a smaller amount and try to work up to 5x daily. I did go over board one day and did 20 drops 7 x a day, and drank mothers milk tea, all containing fenugreek, and felt strong feelings of low blood pressure. A pedialyte and a bunch of water helped me feel better but not worth the risk. Food and water, and follow the directions and this might help you too. Good luck!

This stuff is AMAZING. It doubled my milk supply in one day. The pills were a little sticky, like one may have broken inside, but it’s worth it for how effective they are. They have a pleasant taste and are easy to swallow.

Sadly this didn’t help increase my supply it actually decreased it and I’m trying hard to get it back up. I now have to supplement with formula because I’m barely getting an ounce per breast.

Update:Does this work? Yes, it worked well for me to get my supply up BUT it made me and my little guy gassy. I thought I could help him with Mylacon but there wasn’t enough in this world that would help him not be gassy. He was super fussy after the third day. I think the only way I’d use this again is if my supply got low again and I would sacrifice a few days of s fussy baby to get it back up, but it did work. Now I just keep it up with him. I took a star off because of the gassiness that he had. If there was a way that you guys can make it and th not get fussy that would be AWESOME.I just got this product Saturday and tried it Sunday evening. I noticed the difference almost immediately and then woke up Monday morning completely FULL to the point that they were literally hard as a rock. I haven’t pumped yet to see if it’s made a difference but I fed my little guy this morning and he was over flowing. The reason I gave four stars is because I JUST started it and will update in about a week. I’m also going to try to pump after I feed my little guy to see if my supply is up like I think it is.As for the taste....it is GROSS. I made the mistake of putting it directly in my mouth. DO NOT do that. Second time around I diluted it with water and took it like a shot then chased it with my morning coffee, didn’t taste it at all. I don’t like the alcohol aspect of the solution but I was looking at the website and they have a non alcoholic version but it’s sold out. I’ll be checking back to try and get it.I would recommend this to new mamas because it worked for me so far.

First let me say that like every first time breastfeeding mother, I have become obsessed with lactation. I’ve sampled almost everything out there that boasts a boost to milk production. This product was purchased because I’m working full time and pumping and my baby is over a year and all these things add up to less and less milk. I would say this product works as well as anything else. I did not miraculously produce hundreds of ounces of milk, but I did see a few more ounces a day, as in two or three (I pump only twice a day at work usually yielding between six and eight ounces total, after a full week of four capsule daily I was consistently at eight with the occasionally good day of nine or ten). The upside to this product is that it is easy to take and swallow, doesn’t make you smell like a stack of flapjacks (you fenugreek mamas know what I’m talking about), and doesn’t taste bad during or after taking, and was moderately effective for me. I’ve heard many people who had better results than me and some few who had no results, everyone is different. I also did not take it for long because my son started getting diarrhea because I had to take antibiotics and just as a precaution I stopped taking supplements until he was feeling better. I will be starting up again and with prolonged use I will see if I get even better results. Overall I would suggest giving these a try as long as you have a realistic view of the results that are possible. There is no miracle that will make a moderate milk producer into an overproducer., but these helped give me a little edge.
