Check chapter 19 in the book I linked here:

Thanks!
I'm not too worried. The only herbs I have seen mentioned on here that are not galactagogues are wild yam and PM. Many of the others - fenugreek, fennel, goat's rue, saw palmetto, red clover, alfalfa, etc are all taken during lactation to increase milk supply, so they don't really worry me because they're safe.
I feel (personally) that as long as I stop taking the non-galactagogue herbs when I get pregnant next, I should be fine.
I'm still debating on which is better for me to take, though: PM or BO. After doing some more reading on here, many seem to feel that BO is much more beneficial for women with underdeveloped breasts. Does anyone have information on that for me?
