Home Forums Induced Lactation aka Adoptive Breastfeeding Natural Methods to Induce Lactation/Increase Milk Supply Goat's Rue

Please tell me about goat's rue.

Thanks

It is used when BCP's can not be used to build breast tissue. I don't think it is quite as effective as the continuous BCP's. I don't know what the dosage is that you need to take though.

I am taking Goat's Rue and the directions on the label say to take 1 capsule 4x/day. I ordered it from Motherlove.com.

I talked to motherlove and they think their blend with goat's rue will help increase my milk supply. I am currently nursing my biotoddler and ababy. I take domperidone. I'll post back here when I see how it goes in case anyone is curious.

I took Goats Rue as well. It certainly won't hurt your supply but I didn't really notice a drop off when I quit taking it. Second, are you taking the Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle

They didn't seem to make a difference and I saw no decrease when I stopped. However I am drinking 3 cups of mother's milk tea and that is helping.

I can tell you that it tastes NASTY and smells bad, too. I have the powder form. I just made a tea of it yesterday. I don't know if it helps or not as tea is not the best way to go for Goat's Rue. Yucky, yucky, yucky... and I am not that picky.

Dosage on the bag says something like 1/4 to 1/2 tsp in a cup of hot water 2x/day.

Best wishes!

I just got my alcohol-free special blend tincture this afternoon. It tastes like slightly burned caramel. I measured my bust. I'll let you know what happens. They say it increases bust size. I'm already huge--for me.

2 weeks after starting motherlove's more milk special blend I was up to full supply for my 10 week adopted baby and 34 month bio baby. This is in addition to 150 ng dom a day, I never supplemented more than 1 or 2 ounces a day and now I haven't supplemented in a few weeks. I haven't had much change in breast size, but I was already making good amounts of milk.

Second that is terrific. I am sure it helped tremendously to already be nursing a bio child but it is great to know that these items helped jump started your super supply. Congrats!!!
