I used fenugreek with my daughter, it made my sweat smell like maple syrup! I felt it did work on me, if only a little. It's worth a shot, I was doing everything at the time (pumping constantly - eating oatmeal taking fenugreek & blessed thistle) to increase my milk, but was not able to exclusively breastfeed- I eventually settled on formula & breastfeeding: she was full and satisfied, but still getting the antibodies from the breast.

I drank fenugreek tea to help bring my milk in when I was breastfeeding by baby. It works.

In ancient times it was used to treat wounds, abcesses, arthritis, bronchitis, & digestive problems. Traditional Chinese herbalists use it to treat kidney problems and conditions affecting the male reproductive tract. It is used as a spice and condiment in foods. Modern herbalists use it to treat atherosclerosis, constipation, diabetes, high cholesterol, & hypertriglyceridemia.
