Ok, so I think I've got a program finally! I just bought a lactation blend from Gaia Herbs that includes: Fenugreek 150mg, Fennel 100mg, Red Raspberry 50mg, Blessed Thistle 50mg, and Marshmallow 14mg.
The bottle says to take 1 capsule 3x daily. I think it's a good combo, my only concern is the mg -- do you think the mg for all of these herbs are too high or too little? (Keep in mind that it is in a combination)
I also bought some "nursing mom" type teas -- Mother's Milk by Traditional Medicinals and Woman's Nursing Mom by Yogi Tea.
** Mother's Milk contains: Fennel 560mg, Anise 350mg, Coriander 210mg, Fenugreek 35mg, Blessed Thistle 35mg and a combination of Spearmint, West Indian Lemongrass, Lemon Verbena, & Marshmallow that equals to 560mg.
** Woman's Nursing Mom contains: Chamomile, Fennel, Nettle, Anise, Fenugreek, & Lavender that (in combination) equals to 2000mg
I'll be drinking 2 maybe 3 cups of tea daily, either of the same brand or a mix. Do you think with the tea and the capsules this will be too many mg of herbs?
Any and all help is welcome and appreciated!!! Thanks girls!! :D

The capsules seem to have quite a modest amount of quantities. Even taking the capsules and the teas together, I don't see that anyone could say that it was excessive.

1920mg of fennel and 555mg of fenugreek and 255 mg of blessed thistle. that is taking the 1st tea 3x a day. seems kind of low on fenugreek. depends on how much fenugreek the 2nd tea contains. any ideas? good luck!
