. The doctor of my bb don't know what is reglan and said "BF for 4 month is already enough la..."Anyway, I prefer try the herb first. I think drug should be the last choice too. The herb "fenugreek" is available in a pharmacy store called "health Quest". I will consult with the pharmacist first before using it.
For little milk mom, you can try eat curry. Most curry powder "india/indonesia" has "fenugreek in it.
My maid and my auntie's maid use fenugreek to cook a lot, They have plenty of milk too. Another food may help is 酒釀 from shanghai store.
My son is almost 7 months old, I have tried all means to increase milk production in the first few months. I tried fenugreek before, it had not increased much milk production for me but no risk to try. My milk production for the entire day by milk pump is around 12-14 oz over 3-4 times of pumping. I breastfeed during the night but my baby not drink a lot judging by the wetness of his diaper.
I was quite desparate to maintain/increase the milk supply, i bought fenugreek, mother's milk teabag, increase pumping to 8 times per days, all not helped much. I then realized i devoted too much time in milk pumping and was unfair to my elder son and my hubby. I decided I have tried my best and not pushed any harder. Actually my baby dislike milk, he drinks no more than 16oz in total per day, including milk use in his cereal.
Personally I would not risk taking drugs, the reason you BF is because you want the best for you child, don't risk eventhough others might tell you is safe. There is nothing wrong with formula supplement.
You can buy it in 美健堡, they have stores in many locations, admiralty, shatin, Tsing Yi, etc. I bought mine in admiralty centre. I threw away their business card so don't have the shops'phone number anymore, but i still have the shopping bag and the general office number is 2895 4871.
My personal experience is no harm to try fenugreek but it did not ample effect on my production. I still take it once in a while, just for peace of mind
