Hello Ma'am, Before you take fenugreek, try a few things. 😊 The Better Living with My Child (around page 453 here 👈) lists several! Also, in order to support you in breastfeeding (among other things on how to increase the efficiency of the feeds, which will have the impact of increasing your production), there is very very interesting help in the CLSC. I therefore invite you to contact the hospital center where you gave birth in order to be referred to the right resources. By starting this way, you ensure that you have the best solution for your situation. Indeed, using fenugreek without an optimal breastfeeding technique will not do an ideal job.
