Introduction

Fenugreek is one of the world's oldest medicinal herbs. It has a variety of uses, including increasing breast milk production. Fenugreek seeds contain hormone precursors and phytoestrogen (a compound that seems to mimic the effects of the hormone estrogen) that enhance milk production and are used by nursing mothers to increase inadequate breast milk supply. Studies have shown that fenugreek is a potent stimulator of breast milk production and its use was associated with increases as much as 900%.

Fenugreek & Breastfeeding

Fenugreek seeds contain hormone precursors that increases milk supply. Scientists do not know for sure how this happens, but it is believed that fenugreek stimulates breast milk glands, as they are similar to sweat glands. Women all around the world today take fenugreek seeds in capsules or pills. The capsules or pills can be found at most vitamin and nutrition stores, some supermarkets and natural foods stores. Fenugreek can also be taken in tea form, although tea is believed to be less effective than the capsules.

Fenugreek is considered safe for nursing moms when used in moderation and is found on the U.S. FDA's (Food and Drug Administration) 'Generally Recognized As Safe' list.

How Long Will It Take Effect?

Typically, increases in breast milk production by taking fenugreek capsules occur within 24 hours, but may sometimes extend 2-3 days after initial supplementation, with full effectiveness attained within 2 weeks. Once milk flow has been successfully established, fenugreek usage can be stopped without a corresponding interruption in breast milk flow.

Side Effects

The most common side effect is a maple syrup odour in urine and sweat (this is not a bad thing; it just means that the proper dosage has been reached). In overdose, fenugreek can cause diarrhoea, aggravate asthma, or induce hypoglycaemia.

Precautions

Mothers who suffer from asthma, or who are allergic to peanuts, should probably avoid taking fenugreek, unless otherwise indicated by your doctor. Pregnant women should avoid taking fenugreek because it can cause uterine (womb) contractions (i.e. induce labour).

Do note that some women may rarely have allergy to this herb. For more info on precautions, follow this link: PRECAUTIONS FOR FENUGREEK

Other Concerns

Fenugreek does not require permission or approval by the Pharmaceutical Services Division of the Ministry of Health (Kementerian Kesihatan) Malaysia because fenugreek is just part of regular food. Fenugreek has been widely used all over the world as a supplement, however, it is not to be used as a medication to treat, cure or prevent any diseases.

Why use cloth pads?

You may or may not have asked yourself, "What are the risks of using disposable pads?". Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is the most commonly associated health risk for disposable pads. There are few studies documenting the actual amount of chemicals in disposable menstrual products, but we do know that even a very small amounts of these chemicals in the disposable pads have been linked to infertility and cancer. In addition, the chemicals react with menstrual blood to produce an unpleasant smell. Manufacturers are not required to disclose these chemicals on the label. Thus, we don't really know what we are putting in contact with our most sensitive parts. While disposable pads may look white and pretty, they are not sterilised.

That is why cloth pads are created to avoid the risk of infertility and cancer among women. Cloth menstrual pads are also ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY and do not contribute to landfill as they are reusable again and again. Unlike disposable pads, cloth pads does not contain any harmful chemicals. They are less likely to cause rashes, contact dermatitis, as well as helping women afflicted with certain types of vaginitis. If you have sensitive skin or allergies, you may find cloth pads to be more comfortable against your skin. Plus, you might be surprised that your menstrual blood will not smell at all on cloth pads.

My Own Experience with Fenugreek

For your information, I had been exclusively breastfeeding my daughter for 1 year & 7 months without any solid food. I continued to fully breastfeed my daughter without using any formula milk until she was 2 years & 2 months-old and stopped breastfeeding ever since I started to become pregnant with my second baby. Alhamdulillah, my breastfeeding journey was a success and a breeze with the help of fenugreek.
