And I took it the entire time I nursed them. Nursed first one for 8 months and second one 3.5 months and counting. I just smelled like maple syrup in the beginning and then I think the smell eventually went away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-who-took-fenugreek#post-221417 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 19:03:32 +0000 Mrs. Bee 221417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my milk didn't smell weird. when i took more milk plus with charlie, i did notice the maple syrup smell coming from me, but not for long or maybe i got used to it.</p> <p>i didn't notice it at all with olive though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-who-took-fenugreek#post-221391 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 18:04:06 +0000 mrsmenow 221391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definately smelled like syrup everywhere I went!</p> <p>DD didn't act like the milk tasted any different though:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-who-took-fenugreek#post-221371 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 17:22:46 +0000 mrstilly 221371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took 4 pills 4 times a day for a few months to try to keep my supply. DS smelled like maple syrup! I suppose I did too. I didn't notice a smell in the milk, but I don't remember going out of my way to smell it either. DS never had an issue nursing, taking a freshly pumped bottle or taking a bottle of frozen milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-who-took-fenugreek#post-221344 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 15:18:03 +0000 owlmom 221344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: yes! That's exactly what it smells like!</p> <p>I only used it for about a week, but my LO didn't seem to notice. She definitely preferred fenugreek milk from the source to non-fenugreek frozen milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-who-took-fenugreek#post-221330 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 14:13:01 +0000 autumnlove 221330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I smelled like sweaty maple syrup for the first few weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-who-took-fenugreek#post-221325 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 14:05:08 +0000 mediagirl 221325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It smells so bad!!

But I smelled like a pancake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-who-took-fenugreek#post-221299 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 12:44:24 +0000 jennylynn 221299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did it make your milk taste funny to your LO? I just opened the bottle and it smells so strong! </p>
