Gaia Herbs Lactation Support - Supports Healthy Production of Breast Milk in Nursing Mothers* - with Fenugreek Seed, Fennel Seed, and Raspberry Leaf - 60 Vegan Liquid Phyto-Capsules (20-Day Supply)

I recently used the Gaia Herbs Lactation Support pills while breastfeeding my baby and they worked wonders! They helped to increase my milk supply and I was able to provide enough milk for my baby. The pills are very easy to take and the ingredients are all natural, which I love. The herbs used in the pills are known to help increase milk production and are very gentle on the body. I'm so happy that I found this product, it has been a lifesaver for me and my baby. Highly recommend!

As my baby approached 8 months, maintaining a milk supply became more and more of a struggle. I drank a ton of water (a ton), and made sure to eat healthy and pump frequently at work and after baby nursed, but still, for whatever reason my supply continued to dwindle. I tried Mother's Milk for 2 weeks and it barely, barely increased my supply.Was about to pay big $ for a lactation consultant, and on a whim decided to try these pills (saw them at Whole Foods but they are $10 cheaper on Amazon - so I bought them here) and my pumping/nursing life has improved SO MUCH. WOW. I didn't change a thing to my eating or drinking habits, and even consume less water now since the pressure is off! Still, I make more despite drinking less water. Go figure.If you are struggling to maintain a supply and are at the end of your rope -- before you give up try this. It may work for you. I was skeptical (not at all a herbalist), but it has made milk production a NON-ISSUE in my life. Like the first months of baby's life. A huge relief. Will recommend to all my mommy friends struggling with supply.Glad to report that I have oversupply now and can freeze.

I found this by accident when I was breastfeeding my son and fell in love with it. I noticed a difference in my milk production right away. I produced on average 2-6oz more per pumping session than I did before using this product. I would highly recommend this product to any breastfeeding mother looking for a natural way to increase her supply. Other supplements have one or two of the herbs listed as helping to increase milk production, this product has all of the herbs I could find associated with increased milk production. I did a lot of research prior to finding this product and was thrilled when I discovered it. This only offers a boost however. If your supply dries up, these cannot help you make more from nothing. As for side effects, the only one I had from using this product was that my urine smelled a bit like maple syrup. That aside, I highly, highly recommend this product to any breastfeeding mom looking to increase her supply, so very worth the money. Good luck to you in your breastfeeding endeavor!

I've been taking Fenugreek daily since about 2 weeks after my son was born. I decided to try Gaia Herbs Lactate Support in hopes of getting a bigger boost in milk production, primarily to help with pumping since I work full time.I give the product three stars because I did seem to get an initial boost in milk production - about 1-1.5 additional ounces per day, which I was happy with.However, after using this supplement for about 2 weeks, I started to develop really painful gas, and so did my little guy. I wasn't totally sure if it was the Lactate Support causing the gas, so I stopped taking it for a few days. The gas went away. As a test, I took Lactate Support again and within 48 hours, the gas was back. I am sure it won't have this effect on everyone, however, since each person tends to respond to herbs differently. For me, personally, however, an extra ounce of milk per day was not worth the discomfort for myself and my baby.Pros:* Slight increase in milk production over taking plain Fenugreek.* Does not have a strong smell/taste (like Fenugreek). For people bothered by the Fenugreek smell, this is a bonus (doesn't bother me, though).Cons:* Painful gas for me and the baby.* More expensive than Fenugreek alone.Would I buy again? No. Would I recommend to a friend? I would probably talk about this product along with plain Fenugreek and would share my experience. If not for the gas pain, I would be pretty happy with this supplement, so I probably would still spread the word about it, just with my own cautionary tale.

The keyword in the product is SUPPORT. It does a great job at supporting milk supply increase, but it’s not a replacement for staying hydrated, pumping regularly, drinking your teas & prenatals and keeping a nutritional diet. All in all, it works if you’re still doing your job. A great item to add to you regiment. Also, suggested use is 3x day with food. So consider all those things to determine the value. But it’s not a replacement for the work. I would see an extra few oz to my pump sessions when I was staying on track.
