Does fenugreek work to increase milk supply which one do you take please share?

Question

My son didn't latch so my supply goes down like crazy from 5oz to 3 oz now im exclusive pumping to feed him. I pump every 3 hours for  half an hour and i get only 3oz from both side. In afraid if he growth and want more i can't meet his need. I want to BF as long as i can. If you take fenugreek which one did you take? How long does it take to increase milk supply and does it has any side affects for baby? FTM need help

Answer

It usuallly takes 3 days to a week to see results. With Fenugreek you need to take it at a high enough dose that you begin to smell like maple syrup (weird, right?). If you don't smell like maple syrup it's not enough to increase your supply.  If you have thyroid issues though donot take it bc it can lower your supply.  
You can also try a 'power pump' once a day (pump 20 min, break for 10 then pump for 10, break for 10, pump for 10.  
Oatmeal helps some people also.

Answer

There are teas at the grocery store u can take:. I forgot what theyre called.. Drink LOTS of fluids and make sure u eat.. and PUMP every 3 hours even when baby doesnt latch. Had the same problem..
