first of all congrats and my admiration for all the breastfeeding moms!
with my first dd i gave up so fast because she didnt latch on and i hardly even had any milk now 4 yrs later im trying again with my baby boy and he did latch on fine except for me having flat nipples king of challenging my boobs are not hard/full with milk and after he is being fed for 2 hours he is still hungry so I give him formula breastfeeding is so painful and hard all he wants to do is be next to my boob even if he is sleeping i dont think i can do this anymore its so stressful and exhausting anyone feels the same???????????

1). #Week Old?
2.) Baby concerns?
3.) Most challenging moment?
Avondre is 2.5 weeks old and last weigh in at the Pediatrician was 7 lbs 2 oz so he gained a lb from birth.
My baby concerns was simulac formula issues the Simulac Advance was fine but the Fussy & Gas one made him constipated and have gas so we switched back and he's fine now. The situation was stressful it had us buy and use Gripe Water and Infant Laxitive Supositories. Also, trying to breast feed too and its tough when its frustrating to get them on.
Most challanging would be the thought of returning back to work May 1st, finding a job closer to home and making more money. May have to relocate. Nursing my Son more and becoming a fantastic Mom.

So I took 4 610mg pills in two days I stopped taking them even though I could feel them working to increase my milk supply. My son is 20 days old and my postpartum bleeding was tapering off, just a few drops of old blood for about a week or so but as soon as I started this I've had bright red bleeding, not a lot but more than I had the previous week along with cramps. I know it's not retained placenta and I'm pretty sure it was caused by fenugreek, but since it's herbal and not FDA approved its not required to list side effects, and pro breastfeeding sites don't include anything really besides loose stools (haven't had) and maple syrup smelling sweat (4 pills and I smell like a pancake it's gross). The recommended dosage is 2-3 pills 3x daily until your supply increases.
My question is for those of you who have taken it or know more information about it. What side effects did you have? Have you ever heard of increased bleeding? Bright red blood isn't normal 20+ days postpartum am I wrong? I'm going to ask my midwife at my appointment but I'm not in any hurry because bleeding isnt too heavy. I also haven't done anything stressful or strenuous so I'm not too concerned just curious.
