Why didn’t any doctor every recommend Phenugreek for lactation problems?
Three kids, breastfeeding problems with all three and not one medical professional (doctor or otherwise) mentioned Phenugreek. For those who don’t know, Phenugreek is a natural supplement that drastically improves milk supply in nursing mothers (at least it did in our case).
It was a simple, cheap solution to the problem. What the hell is up with the medical community? I have a hard time believing they’ve never heard of it. So why didn’t they tell us?
They don’t get any training on breastfeeding!!
a real lactation consultant w/ the IBCLC credentials after her name (international board certified lactation consultant) or a La Leche League Leader should have at least proposed it as a possible idea.
Really it boils down to money… formula companies like doctors – they gift them with stationary, pens, lunches, free samples and such.
How many breasts out there are cutting checks to pediatricians for promoting them??
plus breastfeeding is not a medical issue… unless you have an infection, are dealing with issues related to a previous breast surgery or something like that .
breastfeeding is a societal issue… should be taught in school’s health classes… when showing us the food pyramid & the 4 food groups they should also include info on what babies should eat, how they should eat it, and how women should get help when they’re having trouble doing it!!
sad, very sad.
