I have a group of nutritional and herbal supplements that I recommend for mom's with low supplies. But, the cocktail itself is not without risks.  Using herbs is like using any other medication. Self medicating with herbs should never be taken lightly.

I have a policy of not just handing out specific lactation info without proper background history.

General advice is just that: general advice. But if you are having a problem more specific instructions are needed. As a professional providing Internet support, I have learned that it's best to get all the information at once.

I send all mothers requesting individualized help an ichart [Internet chart] to fill out. It's lengthy but serves its purpose well. The ichart expedites the information gathering process. Getting a complete history will help identify any problems by asking the same types of questions an LC asks at an office appointment.

The ichart will also tell me if you need to see your physician or local LC.

If you are willing to fill out the ichart please, let me know an I will send you one via email.
