Wrote: I've definitely been there, before I knew anything about NBE and how it worked I googled "herbs for breastfeeding" and bought literally 20 different herbs that i mixed together and made tea with and drank that for a year while massaging with borage oil with some fenugreek infused vegetable oil that i bought from chinatown. It didn't work and I was so disappointed that I threw everything away and completely wrote it off and was secretly considering breast implants until my friend got them and had complications almost immediately after.
My program from Feb. until now has been:
diet:
90-100 grams of protein
high healthy fat
lots of dark leafy greens
low starch (can't cut it out completely)
low sugar(can't cut it out completely)
bone broth
supplements:
MSM w/ Vitamin C(take in am)
Maca(blend has red, yellow, and black)(take in am)
Red Clover(2x/day)
Fenugreek(2x/day)
Spearmint(3x/day)
Reishi(3x/day)
White Peony Root(3x/day)
evening massage cream:
fenugreek extract
fennel e.o.
lavender e.o.
cinnamon bark e.o.
coconut oil
shea butter
cocoa butter
You'd think massaging with borage and fenugreek oil would work! Oh boy I tried massaging with all sorts of oils too and nada......your massage cream does sound very interesting though. I definitely think herbal extracts and EOs are more powerful than regular oils.
Thank you for sharing your program, Ruby! It looks very good.
I wanted to ask you more re: white peony. Like if you got any side effects but I guess it would be hard to say since you're taking other things too. Keep us updated on your progress!
