Good product

The first thing I said when opening my package was "FINALLY". Why? Because they actually list how much of each herb is in their product. In my picture, you can see how a competitor has a ton of herbs, but you dont actually know how much of each is in there. It is just listed as a "proprietary blend". There could be any amount. I want to know what I'm ingesting and all the information. I highly appreciate this!Now, I just started this. So I'll have to come back and update if I do or do not notice any issues. With the first dose, I haven't noticed any stomach discomfort on myself or baby. No weird taste, or smell and the pill itself isn't large at all. I'm optimistic. I have tried pretty much every supplement you can think of. And this is the last one I'm going to try.The chamomile caught my eye. Chamomile is a newer found galatagouge. I have been drinking chamomile tea each night and I've seen a difference. So I love that it's in an easy supplement!

I really wanted to like this product. In the first few days of taking this supplement I had so much milk that I felt engorged (and got a clogged duct out of it) and I was genuinely excited! With my previous baby I made just enough for her but no extra to save up. So having a product to help keep my freezer stocked was amazing.HOWEVER my poor 2 month old baby has had so much gas she's absolutely miserable. She went from pooping 1-2x daily to not pooping for days. After stopping for a few days, she went right back to normal.Also, my supply went right back to normal after the adjustment period (about a week and a half). I'm so bummed.The pills are somewhat buoyant so that makes them a little difficult to swallow and have a somewhat earthy aftertaste that can be unsettling but goes away quickly.Doing further research into the ingredients I noticed some are not recommended for infants so that's also troubling. It could be possible that it's the cause of my babe's discomfort.All in all, this product worked for a short time with fantastic results but I cannot in good conscience keep taking these knowing it's making my babe suffer.

Let me start by saying that I don’t normally post reviews unless it’s beneficial to other people.BE VERY CAREFUL WITH YOUR CHILD AND THIS PRODUCT.First of all, this did not help my milk supply at all. It made me super gassy and so uncomfortable. At first, I thought it was my diet so I changed that. Then I started drinking more water thinking I was dehydrated. Then after my 5th day, I looked towards my medications that I take and the ONLY new pill was this one. After stopping it for a few days, I felt so much better.Now on to my baby! I have a 6 week old that had normal bowl patterns. Literally would eat and poop, until I started taking these pills. He became severely constipated (so bad that we bought the Windee product to relieve his trapped gas and constipation). He was straining, grunting and crying hysterically just to get gas out! His poor little belly was hard as a rock and so tender, he would scream if we touched him. We were doing the bicycles, Tummy time, gripe water & chamomile tea *not with anise* around the clock... I mean you name it, we tried it. The Windee product literally saved us!***(FYI: use caution with Anise and infants as it can cause seizures)***Good thing I was only on these pills for 5 days and not any longer or we may have rushed my baby to the ER!Please be cautious when purchasing things & ask the pediatrician. It’s better safe than sorry & I’m truly sorry I bought this product and put my baby under so much unnecessary stress!

My background:• I have no medical conditions that would effect my milk supply. Nor does our son.• My second child born: 6/16 - no complications. He was four days early, slightly jaundice. We had to bottle feed for a little bit.• We mostly nurse & pump - my goal is to nurse 85% of the time.• Pump- I use a double electric Medela pump. An older model.• If little man still acts hungry, won't latch, and I don't have any breast milk - we sup formula.Reason why I purchased prodcut:Wanted to have an extra supply to freeze.I've been taking this product for about a week now. I've maybe increased supply by a few ounces, nothing dramatic. I pump in between feedings - only four times a day. He nurses all the time.Energy levels - not sure if it helped to be honest. I drink 6oz of coffee in the morning and eat a pretty healthy diet. I'm also getting blocks of 3-4 hours of sleep.Side effects: I haven't had any that were noticeable. No stomach aches or decrease in milk supply.Photos: Me holding our son & the milk I just pumped twenty minutes ago. My son just nursed for 15-20m. I haven't pumped since 11pm last night (So, 12 hours).I hope this helps. There are so many factors that effect your milk supply. I also see a lactation consultant once a week. I highly recommend it. Good luck ladies!
