Motherlove More Milk Plus (120 Capsule Value Size) Fenugreek-Based Lactation Supplement to Support Breast Milk Supply—Non-GMO, Organic Herbs, Vegan, Kosher, Soy-Free

This stuff does not taste good at all, but I learned to ignore it. I've had issues taking liquid medicines since childhood, so this was definitely a concern. On the bottle, it says to not take more than 1-2 oz of liquid within 15 minutes around the dosage. At first I thought it said "none." Then I read it again a few days later, and realized I could take a small swallow of water to chase it, and it made all the difference (maybe about the amount of a full medicine cup). It also helps to shoot the dropper toward the back corner of your tongue.My testimony goes a little something like this:Due to the case of Jaundice, my milk took a bit to get established within the first month as it was necessary to supplement. At about 4 weeks, I was determined to get her completely on the breast. So I started researching and this was recommended somewhere on just about every blog I read. So after going back and forth for a few days (wondering if I should just start with Fenugreek rather than possibly waste $30 on this stuff), I ordered it. It came within the week. However, I did start this with Fenugreek. I started with the recommended dose once in the morning and once in the evening, as well as a dose of Fenugreek. I noticed a HUGE difference the next morning. Within 2 days, this child stayed on the boob; it was noticeably easier on her. After the first week, I would take a dose in the morning, then Fenugreek and my prenatals in the evening. I continued like that for nearly 3 weeks out of habit. That's when I realized I shouldn't have to take this stuff on a regular basis since all I needed was a boost; once your body knows what it needs, it does the rest for you. The last thing I needed was to be dependent on it. By 6-weeks, she was off supplements. By 8-weeks, I stopped taking this and Fenugreek altogether. She just turned 4-months and I haven't needed either supplement in the last 2 months. I have about half a jar left for a rainy day.My son is 12, and we tried breastfeeding for 6 weeks before we called it quits. I was only able to nurse maybe 20% of the time, the only thing keeping me from drying out was taking Fenugreek 3 times a day...but that was it; it wasn't giving me a boost, it was just keeping me from drying out. Breastfeeding takes such a physical and mental toll on a woman's body, but if you keep pushing yourself, it WILL work out. When I was down to my last depressed sigh thinking I would fail once again, this stuff was my saving grace. So from my previous experience with Fenugreek, I would definitely say, Motherlove Milk Plus was dominant supplement that pulled me through.To any breastfeeding mom out there: it's frustrating. But if you're determined, it WILL get better. Now thanks to this stuff my baby girl gets the best nutrition possible. If only I had this stuff 12 years ago.UPDATE 3/25/2014:My daughter is now 9.5-months-old. She is still fully breastfed. Over the months, due to adding solids to her diet, I've had a few instances where I needed another boost. Thankfully I still had (and still have) some of this on hand. Usually just 2-3 doses will do the trick. I'm still a believer in this product.UPDATE #2 4/10/2016:Right after my last update, I became pregnant with my second daughter. Right at by previous 12 months, as expected, my milk started dropping due to the new pregnancy. Because this product is not recommended for use during pregnancy, I couldn't use it for that extra boost again for her. (I still managed to nurse until 13 months, though.) I purchased this product again before my second daughter was born. And again, like the miracle potion it is, we are still nursing strong at 15 months. This time around I only used it sparingly 1-2 doses a day for 1-3 days, and without the additional help of Fenugreek. I was hoping to have her weened by now, but she's not interested. At this point in our journey, I can take one dose in the morning, and feel the results by late afternoon. For any friends who are planning to nurse, I always recommend this product to be on hand before baby gets here. Some first-time will insist they won't need it, but in a few months the ones that were backed in a corner like I was have come back thanking me for the recommendation.So again, this product is highly recommended!

I want to preface this review by saying I have never written a review in my life. I am currently 6 weeks postpartum and have been mentally struggling with not being able to obtain a significant milk supply. I struggle with seeing other moms show how much they can pump in one session when I feel like I hardly get anything- on top of all the other postpartum things you are going through it’s mentally exhausting. I have just enough to feed my daughter and maybe a few extra ounces for a single bottle but that’s not enough for when I have to return to work. I have only been taking these pills for two days and my pumping output went from 0.5-2 ounces per pumping session to now 5 ounces per pumping session… And I have only been taking two pills a day. I can’t tell you how happy this made me- I feel like there’s hope for my breastfeeding journey.Highly recommend to any mom struggling with output to give these pills a shot- what have you got to lose?

This pill definitely helped boost my milk supply. It’s easy to take and doesn’t have any weird taste to it. Like any supplement though I always recommend to people to start with just 1 pill once a day. This is something new that is being added to your body. And so that is what I did. I took 1 pill once a day in the evening when supply was low for me. Cause I wasn’t making more then 2 ounces. I did this for about four days till I felt I wasn’t having issues. Ex: farting, bloat. First night I took it I was farting and a little bloated. After the few days it got better. Then I increased to 2 pills once a day in the evening. This is the max amount of pills I’ve taken since my milk supply with 2 pills has doubled. And I felt that was plenty. I got a little more gassy. But nothing I couldn’t handle. Also with these pills they work best drinking a lot of water. Which is ideal for breastfeeding anyways. I consumed about a gallon a day if not more. This helped me keep bloat and gas at bay.In regards to how my baby did, I didn’t notice any extra fussiness. He did fart a bit more then normal. And if he was fussy due to his farts I put a warm rice sock on his belly and that eased them right out. His been overly happy and well fed since taking these and I have had to use less formula (which makes me happy) he is 2 months old drinking 4 to 5 ounces. Also as a side note I do give him probiotics which I would recommend to anyone who has a baby proned to being “Constipated”, gassy, or fussy. This has allowed my little one to poop twice a day unlike before. I would recommend women try these if they have been having a hard time keeping supply and nursing or pumping all the time. Just remember to take it slow with the pills and that will make the transition for you and baby a lot smoother :)
