hi, I was on these boards for a while a year back and stopped because well I ended up pregnant! I am currently 34 1/2 weeks, and I too had supply issues with my first and had to supplement. With all my researching, my mind always comes back to the possibility that BO may help up my supply and I woke up this morning thinking about coming on here to do more research, from what i have found online, there is no research on BO and breastfeeding, although I do know that BB says not to take it while breastfeeding or pregnant, but there are no reasons given as to why, it could just be a liability issue, kwim? So here I am thinking about taking BO once I deliver, obviously I would not take it while pregnant, and I am pretty sure you won't get a good answer from any mainstream dr. on taking this while nursing. But your success is encouraging! Thanks for sharing, wish I knew if it was safe or not, but honestly I doubt if it is too dangerous to take since there are many herbs that are safe to take while nursing to increase your supply.
