I bought "The Breastfeeding Mother's Guide to Making More Milk". It is such a WONDERFUL book, I highly recommend it!!!
It talks about IGT, PCOS, low milk supply, breastfeeding issues, pumping, herbs and much more!
I emailed the co-author of that book, Diana West about IGT, and what can be done about it, I love that I got a reply back, she is amazing. This was her response:
I don't recommend taking goat's rue or any other herb during pregnancy, but you may benefit from taking progesterone supplementation until week 37, which has been shown to increase lactation tissue. You may also benefit from using metformin both during pregnancy and lactation. I and my coauthor Lisa Marasco have written about these strategies in the Making More Milk book
I have to read the book again, because honestly, when I first got it, I couldn't put it down! I read it so fast and I really want to go back reading it and highlighting the very important things.
