When did you feel comfortable stopping? My LO is nearly 3 weeks and it seems my supply is decent, but I'm kind of scared to stop. On the other hand, I am tired of my sweat stinking like Fenugreek - yuck!

@meredithNYC: I only took it for a day and it gave me horrible gas pains. But I read you can just stop it, the tea you're suppose to continue but the pills you can stop at any point.

@Banana330: Okay, I'm taking both the tea and the pills (paranoid second time mom who struggled with supply when breastfeeding LO #1), so I think I will just cut out the pills. Thanks!

I'd just decrease little by little and see~ I never took any of it full time. I also had read that sometimes your body can react to it negatively so I just relied on adding pumping session and eating oats to boost my supply!

I was drinking the tea, and stopped it cold turkey afer maybe two months. I had really weird side effects - my fingers started tingling and I completely lost my appetite. That was not helpful when I was trying to eat enough for myself and DS... unfortunately I was too sleep deprived to figure out what was causing it until a lactation consultant told me to try stopping and taking a different supplement.

I never did the tea, but I did the pills at the beginning for a few weeks, then I just dropped a pill each day. Sometimes if I feel like I didn't drink enough water the day before I'll start taking them again for a day or so, but I haven't noticed anything weird by doing that.
