Whaika,
Thank you for the advice. To my dismay, I did end up breastfeeding my baby at 4 weeks. Long story short, I had an AWFUL doctor and when I told him I was having trouble with the production of milk in my left breast he had no advice for me or suggestions as to what to do. I did do some research online and had thought about taking fenugreek to supplement but i wanted to find out first why baby didn't seem to be getting anything from my left breat. After being frustrated by the doctors lack of answers or interests and an upset and hungry baby I just gave up and started formula. He is now two months old and has been on formula for one month. He has definitley NOT been the same baby since the changeover, constipation and upset tummies are common occurences :S anyway, i know this is not the site for this but i'm still feeling let-down by the whole situation and a little guilty!
you suggested trying to lose weight before trying NBE...is that b/c the herbs will inevitably go to my bum and thighs before going to my breasts? and if so, why would it matter if the weight was on or off if that is where the hormone's would go anyway? (i hope that made sense..) Could I try to lose the weight through regular exercise and better eating habits while attempting NBE?
