Nature's Way Blessed Thistle, Capsules 100ea

I always had a tremendous amount of breastmilk with my first two children, and had no problems supplying them with enough until I was ready to wean. I also started out with a great milk supply this time, however my third little guy started sleeping through the night at three weeks of age.He would sleep from 8 to 10 hour stretches, which was great for me, but apparently my milk decreased to dramatically, even the milk that was produced during his waking hours was not enough for him, as he would cry, needing more. Everyone told me to just start supplementing with formula, but I was just not ready, so just make sure that you have some frozen breastmilk saved for future use, like for when you want to wean, or for emergencies, this way you will not need to offer him formula. My baby is now 3 months old, I tried drinking milkmaid tea three times a day with no results. I used blessed thistle in conjunction with fenugreek three times a day, and in less than 3 days my milk supply increased noticeably. I tried pumping and breastfeding every 1-2 hours and waking in the night to pump and feed, but my milk did not increase as much or as quickly as when I added these two supplements to the regimen. I am now able to satisfy my little one and store extra milk for the future. I am so excited!!!!!

This and in conjunction with other herbs did well for increasing my milk production during while breastfeeding during those growth spurts!

Used it to increase supply, It works! within 1hr I was practically leaking! But if you stop taking it, you go back to normal :-(

I used this herbal supplement to increase my milk supply when breastfeeding my first and second son. It helped me during a difficult and stressful time. Worked great combined with fenugreek.

Along with St. John's wart, I was recommended this to take as a "pick-me-up" when I was feeling sad or blue. I took two and felt chipper after only a few hours. I didn't even notice until someone pointed it out. I give it four stars in case it was a placebo effect.
