@Abodylilian @KappaFannon @nominalnaomi You could spend literally hours reviewing the research that's been done on fenugreek in adult females. Not so with domperidone in adult males. https://t.co/AUXPGyJYRx.

The original study (https://t.co/yJpKxrF81O) said that #fenugreek increases #breastmilk production by 11 mL (95% CI 7-15) per expression or breast feed. The correct estimate turned out to be −41 mL (−88 to 6). That is, use of fenugreek led to a REDUCTION in breast milk supply.
