I am trying to boost my lactation, but the taste and smell of MMT is killing me and makes me gag.
Has anyone else used this and in some way used something to at least make it taste better?
I am also taking Fenugreek pills. Any other ways anyone knows that will help me?
Thanks
I added honey to the tea to make it better...I may have added more than I was supposed to, but I was able to get it down :)
I used Fenugreek alone and it worked great!
Buy Brewer's yeast and make lactation cookies (just look up the recipe online). That's what I did and it helped. Of course, I almost ate a full batch of cookies...on the bright side, my husband and then 2 year old loved the cookies as well (they didn't lactate! lol) HTH!!
I preferred MMT cold rather than hot. It was much eaiser to get down that way.
Good luck!
I took Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle 3 capsules 3 times daily. You can find the Blessed Thistle at your local health food shop. They worked great together! I could tell a big difference. My lactation consultant told me that if my urine and sweat smelled like pancake syrup, then I knew I was taking enough Fenugreek. Indeed, I did smell like pancakes!
Good luck!
Are you taking enough Fenugreek pills per day?
Try combining them with Blessed Thistle too.
Eat oatmeal everyday.
A mom just posted a very similar question and she got great answers. Literally about a day ago, I think it was called "fenugreek" as the title.
You look under my answers since I responded to the post to find out more information.
Try Motherlove More Milk Plus Tincture. Tastes gross but really works. Take it in a shot glass with cranberry juice to mute the flavor. :)
The tea works really well. Just add a little bit of honey, it makes it easier to drink, although I kinda liked the "earthy" taste. Good luck!
I put splenda in my MMT to make it taste better. HTH!
I started to have a hard time producing milk for my LO. I came across Healthy nursing tea and decided to try it.I am glad I did about a week I started to noticed a difference again. The taste isn't that great but I started to not notice after I had a few.
Pump after each feeding for an extra 10 minutes on both sides, continue the Fenugreek tablets, drink lots of water, and stay away from sage. Before you know it you will be asking how to reduce your production.
If you don't like the tea, kick it and just take the fenugreek. I tried the tea and wasn't a real fan either and just did the pills with no problems. . . other than smelling like a maple syrup factory - lol!
If you are still having issues with production time to see an LC specialist they do worlds of good!
