Hi Noodles,

Sorry for the late response. I haven't had any lactation side effects from anything in my program. My child is 11 yrs old now so it's been quite a long time since I breastfed. How long has it been since you breastfed? If more recently you may have to wait a little longer before attempting NBE. There are herbs that may help dry up milk. Sage is supposed to be effective and there are probably a few others as well. I hope that helps and you may want to post this on the main forum as well as more people will see it and can offer their advice too. Best of luck.

Hey, I stopped a yr and a half ago. I did try posting about it in a couple of messages but nobody answered. I went ahead with the herbs a week ago and have been doing some massage for 2 days, just more of the knuckle circles and pressure points than the squeezing grabbing type that probably stimulate milk more.
But thanks

Hi Noodles,

I think it's good not to do more aggressive massages at this point. I found a website of galactofuges (I learned a new word today!). It might be worth checking out. Interestingly, some of the herbs on the list are used for breast growth e.g. barley. Spearmint is also supposed to be effective too. I take that one for excess androgens. It makes the best tasting tea. Hope this helps.

Wow, thanks a lot. I checked it out and yes thats great bc I already started taking Barley. Mine is called Barley Grass. Im assuming thats the same thing.
Well that's very good to know. Ive been doing the massage continuously not as aggressively as those first few days, and Ive been completely avoiding my nipples. Im still getting some of the 'feeling' lol but its not as pronounced.
But thanks again, I learned a new word too lol
