Hello!
I'm looking into other supplements after a few days of using fenugreek. My LO has had some pretty bad gas and it was at its worst last night. We're both exhausted now so I'm going off fenugreek to hopefully stop this problem.
Any suggestions of supplements? I've read a bit about Moringa, has anyone used it and liked it? Any other recommendations?

Yes. I do use Moringa. Tea and capsule form. It's waaaaay better than fenugreek

awesome! Thanks for letting me know. Any side effects you've noticed in you or baby?

Actually now that you mentioned fenugreek. I'll try to stop that too because I noticed my baby gets gassy too. I always thought it's my food habit since I live in middle east.
But so far for moringa. It works wonders for me.

I take brewers yeast and I think it's increased my supply

Fenugreek is great for inc milk supply but it is very gassy.
Instead use carom and fennel seeds. You can make a cordial of sorts. Boil a tablespoon of carom and 2 tablespoons of fennel seeds in some water - use bottled or distilled water for best results and gentley boil down until it reduces by 2/3. Then pop it into a clean bottle and keep in fridge. Drink as you would cordial, starting with about 1:5 ratio (with 5 being water)
You can drink slightly warm or hot like a tea or cold. It will help with gas loads! FYI fennel is the main ingredient in gripe water!

yeah she was so uncomfortable last night :(
Thank you for the advice 💗
