Too much?

Question

Can you do too much? Yesterday I had the lactation cookies in the morning then the lactation support in the evening. After talking the lactation support I felt like I was having trouble breathing. I do have asthma not sure if it was a bad reaction to fenugreek? Similar experience anyone?

Answer

Taking too much fenugreek can actually tank your supply and can have some adverse effects from it. I never used it while breastfeeding any of my three babies. Breastfeeding is supply and demand and your supply won’t increase or maintain unless you nurse and/or pump often enough no matter what you’re eating/drinking.
Taken from WebMD:
“Side effects include diarrhea, stomach upset, bloating, gas, dizziness, headache, and a "maple syrup" odor in urine. Fenugreek can cause nasal congestion, coughing, wheezing, facial swelling, and severe allergic reactions in hypersensitive people. Fenugreek might lower blood sugar.”

Answer

Yes you can do too much. Watch out for oversupply. You will be miserable.
