Legendairy Milk Liquid Gold Lactation Support, Breastfeeding Supplements, 60

This supplement came highly recommend to me by a friend. After taking the first dose, my milk production doubled. I can only take this supplement when I plan to pump because I produce way more than my baby needs.

I purchased this produce to help me stock pile milk before I go back to work. I am very pleased with how it has helped. That beings said, I would also recommend this to any breastfeeding mommas who need a supply boost.

I started taking these to increase my milk supply which really tanked after 3 months postpartum. They definitely helped increased my supply a by i think 5-6 ounces total. Which I am sure would have been more if had ate and drank enough fluids. I have really bad anxiety and often forget to take care of myself. They are easy to take and didn’t upset my stomach or cause me any other issues. They gave me the peace of mind that I was supplying enough for my baby which gave me a lot of stress and anxiety and that definitely doesn’t help your supply. I would recommend for the peace of mind. Make sure you eat well and hydrate as well so you can bulk up your supply.

UPDATE: Ladies, it can be really easy to disregard critical reviews when you are desperate to increase your milk supply. It’s what I did. And I just want to share the very heavy price my baby and I paid for thinking “it won’t happen to me”. I only ask that you consider the risks with an open mind and watch out for signs of intolerance in your baby.

My 8 week old baby had a total of 7 full days of diarrhea and green stools. She averaged 10 bowel movements daily. I called her pediatrician and a lactation consultant who were all kinda stumped and said the herbs should have been out of my system in 2-3 days. I then brought my baby in for a physical exam on her 4th day of diarrhea worried about dehydration. The doctor wasn’t concerned at that point and said to watch for signs of dehydration. By the 6th day there was still no improvement so she told me to go to the ER for evaluation. My baby had an IV put in (a traumatic experience) and received fluids just to be safe. They tested for a bacterial infection which was negative. The doctor said she wasn’t dehydrated and her electrolytes were balanced so they sent us home advising that it may take 7-10 days for her system to normalize.

We are so blessed things did not end up worse than they were. But when I say it was the worst week I’ve ever had in a decade it would be an understatement! My worry over this issue sent me spiraling into postpartum anxiety. I felt myself losing my appetite and not being able to sleep even with all my sleep deprivation. It was absolutely horrible. There was just no indication her diarrhea would ever stop! My mind constantly raced: is she absorbing any nutrients? What is this doing to her insides? Is my breast milk hurting her? Should I stop breastfeeding? (devastating) Is it actually an infection that’s causing this? I was exhausted from all the pumping and dumping. Ladies, this situation almost ended my breastfeeding journey. And here I am now with a reduced supply. Baby gets breast milk and topped up with formula now. It is what it is and I’m grateful I have any breast milk for her at all.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
This product wrecked my baby’s bowels. Baby is 8 weeks old. I took 2 doses (4 capsules) on Day 1 and 3 doses (6 capsules) on Day 2. No other diet or supplement changes. At the end of Day 2 baby’s frequency of bowel movements increased. By noon on Day 3 the stools turned green. At that point I realized the product was to blame. I had to dump pumped milk from Day 2. I also pumped and dumped the rest of Day 3 and baby got formula. I was so angry!! I don’t make enough milk as it is (hence trying these supplements). Baby is also a bit more gassy than normal and slightly more fussy. I started breastfeeding again once it had been 24 hours since my last dose. It’s the morning of Day 4 and baby is still having frequent bowel movements and green stools. Hoping things regulate today. I’ve been worried about diarrhea in a baby this young and it’s stirring up so much anxiety that I can’t sleep. Will be calling the pediatrician if this issue doesn’t clear on it’s own soon. I’m so upset that this product has wreaked so much havoc on our lives! Will update as things change.

These kinda worked but not really. They are kinda pricey. I’m used to swallowing pills so they were easy to swallow.
