NOW Foods Supplements, Sunflower Lecithin 1200 mg with Phosphatidyl Choline, 100 Softgels

Really helped when I had clogged milk ducts either thinning the milk. This product was recommended by my nurse practitioner. I would and have recommended this to others who are breast feeding

The media could not be loaded. I purchased this supplement to aid in breastmilk production during my postpartum recovery period and beyond. It has a sweeter smell to it. It is an inch sized capsule. If you have a hard time swallowing capsules I would not recommend this specific brand. It is easy for me to take. It has wonderful health benefits in addition to aiding in breastmilk production. It does not make you sleepy. It has a smooth texture. The taste is not unbearable. It has two safety seals as well. The first is a tab you have to pull that will release the open and close feature of the bottle. The second is a safety seal after you open the bottle. My favorite part about this supplement is that is has Choline in it which is an absolutely crucial supplement that all pregnant and breastfeeding mothers need. I feel assured this product is helping me to be at my absolute best for the sake of not just me but my infant as well. Highly recommend! Worth the price.

This is a great help if you are a nursing Mom, struggling with recurrent plugged ducts. I started with Soy Lecithin, and then switched to Sunflower Lecithin when my doctor suggested going off soy. It seems to work the same. Lecithin is a common food additive that is used as an emulsifier (makes things smooth and creamy by keeping fats dispersed in a suspension)--it is found in anything from salad dressing to chocolate to ice cream (usually from soy).Supposedly it makes the milk less "sticky" by increasing the percentage of polyunsaturated fats. I found it helped the blockage to clear, when combined with heat and massage (more so than heat and massage alone). I used it mostly when treating these issues, but sometimes as a preventative. Thrush was a factor in our recurring problem, so this did not solve it, but allowed me to manage it without getting mastitis. And just to be clear, I am not a super crunchy mama that doesn't believe in modern medicine. Sometimes you need all the help you can get. For a plugged duct, my doctor and lactation consultant both suggested heat and massage, followed by nursing and ice, and come in for antibiotics if you see signs of infection, or you are not able to resolve it in a few days. I was always able to resolve it.If you are considering this supplement for the same reason, you will find some information and tips for using it on KellyMom's website. This is a great resource for nursing problems. Disclaimer: Note that this as a therapy to help with plugged ducts (which can lead to mastitis), NOT a treatment for mastitis, which is an infection and should be treated with antibiotics. Make sure you know the signs of infection ("How do I know if I have a plugged duct or mastitis?" on KellyMom is helpful), and please talk to your lactation consultant and doctor when you start having troubles. Hope something in there is helpful, and good luck to you!

Had some pretty painful clogged milk ducts, hurt to raise my arm over my head, even. Saw this brand which excited me (they make good stuff and theyre reasonably priced). It slowly worked over the course of a few days, greatly upping my milk production (I previously wasn't even keeping up with my baby before taking it, had to break into my frozen reserves) on the third day of taking it, I power pumped (20 minutes pumping, 10 minutes resting, 10 minutes pumping, 10 minutes resting, 10 minutes pumping) and got 270ML, it's been a while since I've produced that much milk in a short time. VERY happy with this product. It's a life saver. This brand is quickly becoming a favorite too. Their D Mannose was a life saver when I had a gnarly UTI and couldn't get treatment for a month. Got rid of it by the time my appointment came around. Thank god! Had to leave a review!

I bought these for breastfeeding to help with clogs and they do seem to work. They are fairly large pills and it seems as though one may have leaked because they are greasy but they taste good and don’t have a bad smell.

This product works great for clogged milk ducts. It has saved me many times!

I am new to breastfeeding and was having painful and frequent engorgement and discomfort between feedings. I swear this helped me and my baby the first day I took it! Latch also became much better or maybe felt that way since my breasts were becoming less painful.I was taking just 1 pill every morning for 4 days for preventative. Day 2 was our peek of the effects. Day 3 and 4 my baby had increasingly become fussy with eating. My letdowns are on high flow and baby is releasing early and wanting more frequent feedings. Not so much gas issues as I’ve read from others but definitely uncomfortable and made baby cry in a way I don’t hear often, painful.I will be keeping for future use and will stick with 1 per day but don’t go over 2 days if clog is gone.

I had reoccurring painful milk blebs since shortly after giving birth. I tried hot compresses, nipple butter, even lancing with a needle 🫣. Nothing was working and I was over it, so I found this supplement and figured I’d give it a shot. It took about a week to clear up my last bleb and I was getting worried, but it’s been a month now and I haven’t had another one. I take two pills daily with breakfast and will continue until I’m done breastfeeding. It’s so nice to not be in pain while feeding my baby.
