Update 4-5 months later:I take this periodically when I feel my supply dropping and it works great! I take two pills around the same time everyday for 2-3 days. And I try to put baby on the breast a little more. It doesn't bother her tummy at all anymore (although I'm only taking 2), which makes sense now because baby's digestive systems mature over time. She's 6 months now and has outgrown other digestive sensitivities, so apparently this too. I am really glad to have these on hand for when I need them! I'm still on the first bottle.Update a week later:Ok, so I want to explain one way to use this. My baby did end up having painful gas after using this a couple days, but not as bad as some people in these reviews. However, I found that taking 4/day for 3 days boosted my supply. Even though I EBF, I pumped 1-2x/day for those days (and after), to create more demand to sustain the supply. My goal, in addition to making sure baby is satisfied, was to pump 1x/day to build a small stash, and I've been able to do that, even though I stopped taking the pills. If I ever felt my supply dropping in the future, I would just take 2-4 pills for 1-2 days, not enough to bother my baby too much. So I suggest doing it that way. Overall it's too painful for my baby for me to take all the time, but I don't need to, which makes sense why they give you a small dose! Just make sure to increase the demand when you take it and your increased supply can be sustained.Original review:I just started taking this today and decided to take 4/day instead of 6, so far. I took it around 8am and 4pm with my usual sunflower lecithin, but am skipping my 12am dose because my milk supply is good overnight.I have a baby ~8 weeks old and had breastfeeding latch issues which are better, didn't really struggle with supply, but have felt like my baby is still hungry after feedings the last few days. She loads up on calories at 9pm-12am before bed, and I felt like I wasn't replenishing enough in that timeframe, where she feeds over and over. Day supply was also lacking a little during random times.I decided to take this because it's natural, and figured it couldn't hurt.So far, just today, am having great results. Like I said I took 2 this morning and had abundant milk throughout the day, and 2 around 4pm, and have kept her very satisfied tonight, so she's falling asleep after feeds like she was before, not constantly still searching for my breast.I don't plan to do the midnight dose yet, but will later if I need to.It's only day 1 and I just needed a little more milk to top off her feeds and this has definitely given me that. Praise God! I will update again soon if there's anything to add. My baby has had no adverse reactions.

I was and still am not the kind of person to believe this kind of stuff works but I was desperate to get my milk supply back after I got mastitis. I gave it a few days of following the usage directions and got into a pumping routine. I did see a little change. No bodies or boobs are the same so I do believe that it worked for me but not like other moms who saw a HUGE increase in their supply. I am happy with the amount of milk supply I got back though! Don't make a high expectation for yourself! Easy to take, the taste isn't bad but this doesn't supplement your food. Continue to eat normal meals and DRINK LOTS OF WATER when taking this!

Saved my breastfeeding journey. I have three boys and I’ve never run into a supply and latch issue until this time around. I am also working out more intensely than I have in any of my postpartum journeys this early on.I was having to supplement 2-3 feedings with formula a day for the last couple wks. I am on my second bottle and I have completely gone back to exclusively breast feeding. You will notice a difference within 2-3 days of steady use. I went from my breast feeling empty, to quite literally having to pump access milk after feeding. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a milk miracle.

UPDATE: Ladies, it can be really easy to disregard critical reviews when you are desperate to increase your milk supply. It’s what I did. And I just want to share the very heavy price my baby and I paid for thinking “it won’t happen to me”. I only ask that you consider the risks with an open mind and watch out for signs of intolerance in your baby.My 8 week old baby had a total of 7 full days of diarrhea and green stools. She averaged 10 bowel movements daily. I called her pediatrician and a lactation consultant who were all kinda stumped and said the herbs should have been out of my system in 2-3 days. I then brought my baby in for a physical exam on her 4th day of diarrhea worried about dehydration. The doctor wasn’t concerned at that point and said to watch for signs of dehydration. By the 6th day there was still no improvement so she told me to go to the ER for evaluation. My baby had an IV put in (a traumatic experience) and received fluids just to be safe. They tested for a bacterial infection which was negative. The doctor said she wasn’t dehydrated and her electrolytes were balanced so they sent us home advising that it may take 7-10 days for her system to normalize.We are so blessed things did not end up worse than they were. But when I say it was the worst week I’ve ever had in a decade it would be an understatement! My worry over this issue sent me spiraling into postpartum anxiety. I felt myself losing my appetite and not being able to sleep even with all my sleep deprivation. It was absolutely horrible. There was just no indication her diarrhea would ever stop! My mind constantly raced: is she absorbing any nutrients? What is this doing to her insides? Is my breast milk hurting her? Should I stop breastfeeding? (devastating) Is it actually an infection that’s causing this? I was exhausted from all the pumping and dumping. Ladies, this situation almost ended my breastfeeding journey. And here I am now with a reduced supply. Baby gets breast milk and topped up with formula now. It is what it is and I’m grateful I have any breast milk for her at all.ORIGINAL REVIEW:This product wrecked my baby’s bowels. Baby is 8 weeks old. I took 2 doses (4 capsules) on Day 1 and 3 doses (6 capsules) on Day 2. No other diet or supplement changes. At the end of Day 2 baby’s frequency of bowel movements increased. By noon on Day 3 the stools turned green. At that point I realized the product was to blame. I had to dump pumped milk from Day 2. I also pumped and dumped the rest of Day 3 and baby got formula. I was so angry!! I don’t make enough milk as it is (hence trying these supplements). Baby is also a bit more gassy than normal and slightly more fussy. I started breastfeeding again once it had been 24 hours since my last dose. It’s the morning of Day 4 and baby is still having frequent bowel movements and green stools. Hoping things regulate today. I’ve been worried about diarrhea in a baby this young and it’s stirring up so much anxiety that I can’t sleep. Will be calling the pediatrician if this issue doesn’t clear on it’s own soon. I’m so upset that this product has wreaked so much havoc on our lives! Will update as things change.

So this definitely did boost my supply but I only took 2-3 a day not their recommended amount. Even that would sometimes upset my stomach and baby had minor extra gassiness. It was easy to swallow and had no real taste to it. Won’t be buying it again, but it did work to boost my supply!
