For The Love Of Fenugreek

Tonight I am relaxing & drinking some fenugreek tea (which is an excellent galactagogue). It's an excellent concoction for breastfeeding mamas. I like to add a little honey & drink it with both hands wrapped around the mug.


Fragrant fenugreek.


So pretty.


How are you spending your evening?

Funny story...

I used fenugreek with my son and we both always smelled like maple syrup as a result.

With my daughter I didn't need it, but she used the same cloth diapers that my son used and I guess the smell never goes away completely because as soon as she would pee, everything would smell like maple.

Me too! Maple sweat! Maple pee!
Haha, I kind of like it :) Means I can (kind of?) get away with not wearing so much icky deodorant ^_^

Ah, I used fenugreek too, and lots of maple smell. Even though you don't think about it much, it can be very calming to breastfeed a baby - what an awesome responsibility...

I absolutely love breastfeeding -- we had a really rough start but I'm so happy to have stuck it out. It's such a beautiful thing.
Thank you for your comment!
