my girlfriend is thinking about buying these but she is wondering how fast does it take to start helping her produce milk more

If taken as recommended you should notice an increase in supply in at least 72 hours. It is recommended to drink lots of fluid when nursing even when one doesn't feel thirsty. Before and after nursing sessions. Great product!!! I give it a 5 star...does what it says!

I didn't make more milk by taking a stinky vitamin. I make more by nursing more often, drinking more water, and having more skin to skin. Don't waste your money on these.

Hi all I can say is I wish I would of taken this from day one at the hospital. It took my. About two to three days for it to start working full on. I don't have to supplement with formula anymore. My son is 4 1/2 months 18 lb 27. The dr told me I could start to try baby cerial but I haven't had the need to feed him baby food yet he's gets all he needs from me. I'll wait till 6 months but this capsules are really worth it. Tell her not to get discouraged. Pump for 10 min 2 to 3 times a day or just let the baby eat anytime the baby wants and for as long. I'm passed that stage of him nursing every 1 1/2 to 2 hr. Now it's more like every 3 to 4 hrs. It's hard in the start and that's why most mothers give up. But keep up the nursing and pumping and take these supplants and she will be happy she did.

When I started taking these it helped boost the quantity of milk right away. Never had to supplement with formula, breastmilk only. And the days I forgot to take the supplements, my breasts wouldn't swell up as much so I figure these supplements actually do help the production of milk.

I buy the 2 lb bag and usually use heaped tablespoon per 2 cups milk. One bag will last me about a month-month and a half if I make one drink everyday

Sorry to respond so late. I have not tried them yet. I have every confidence that it would do fine. Whole milk works great.

Well I use it for baby formula and with newborns it took about 2-3 days to go through a batch. I haven't really ever had enough made to go longer than that. I probably wouldn't go longer than 4-5 days personally.

I use them to make cheese. I can put 4 gal of milk in the large, three in the next, 2 next, and 1 to 1/2 in the small.

I purchased these for my child when she was about at the 18 month mark. The milk will flow FAST in these; I would not recommend giving them to a 6 month old. They're awesome when baby gets older & you decide to mix cereal & baby food with their milk. I believe NUK has 3 different sizes. If you're going to give it to a 6 month old, I'd go down one size from fast flow.

I agree with A Carloss. We didn't use these with our daughter until 8 mos maybe, when we started giving water in addition to breast milk. But the great thing about them is they are soft top so it's an easy transition from bottle. As for maximum age, my daughter is 2 years 1 month and we're still using them. We've added a sippy cup that has a straw too, but she's not ready for full on cups yet.

Absolutely .. we use a capsule with 4 cups organic milk in a Cuisinart Yogart Maker .. then use 1/2 cup of that batch to start 8 more batches .. it makes one RAW pill turn into 32 cups of yogurt .. teh "mother" batch will be runny but the next batches will be thick and delicious ..

Yes. It is so easy you wont believe!! I used this exact kit, and my results were delicious. I personally used whole organic milk. I made 7 quarts out of one packet. There are 6 packets. Have fun!!

I used 8 as the recommended milk is usually 30 oz. once they start solids you decrease that slowly as they eat more food. I never gave more than 4oz until my daughter was about a year old. That is also the recommended stopping time for bottles. We went to a larger sippy at that time.

Pumping sessions depend on each individual. I usually pump 5-10 mins but have pumped up to 30 mins. My daughter is a very efficient breast feeder and at the breast for 5-15 mins on average; therefore that's about how long I pump. I pump until the milk stops, or until I have long pauses between drops. Don't forget that it's common to have more than one let down. Check out Le Leche League website for more info. Good luck!

I started my daughter on them at four years old. Each child had different nutritional needs so please check with your pediatrician or homeopathic professional first.

Not sure what the package had said but they are definitely not slow. I'd say medium but if you want it to go faster, I unscrew the lid a millimeter, like a crack and it flows faster so you can slow it down if you want to put it on tighter. It's just my kiddo like to gulp it down!~ I LOVE these bottles and the nipples don't crack like rubber ones. I went back for a second pack so I had extras.

depends on the size of container. also, depends on how many scoops at a time you use. i have had my large container for atleast 4 months, and i still have enough for another month. i recently started using 2 scoops per bag for moms commode so it will be used up quicker. i can't tell you for sure how many scoops per container. i hope this helps

Mine's been working well since I bought it, it's been through one set of batteries (that came with it) and I put a new set in last week. With the new batteries it is super powerful, I have whipped heavy cream with it, frothing milk only takes a few seconds if you are making 1-2 servings or so. I bought it about 3 months ago I think.

Yogourmet starter packs work very good. I only use 1 packet directions say to use 2 my logic is the bacteria doubles every 10 or 15 minutes making millions into billions and billions into trillions. You did not ask that question but since you asked me I feel like giving you a complete answer. Yogourmet packs taste very tart so you will need to add more sweetener they start to work in 4 hours but I like high levels of probiotics so I go for 6 to 8 hours. This adds to the tartness so something tart becomes very tart. Additional information store bought is less tart and the best I have found is a product called Fage I use 1 heaping tablespoon. This product is more expensive then normal yogurt like dannon or store brand but much less tart even on a 12 hour batch. So what I do is buy the yogurt I like the best and a bunch of Ziploc small bags and scoop 1 heaping table spoon into each bag and throw them into the freezer each time I make yogurt I use a fresh bag thaw it and make it. You can use your own yogurt the same way but it becomes more tart each time. I also use 100 percent powdered skim milk 3 rounded cups and it makes 2 quarts. Many advantages of this is bring water to 180 degrees about 5 minutes put 3 rounded cups of powdered milk in blender 2 or 3 cups of the hot water blend 30 seconds add to the rest of the water. Cool it to about 105 degrees pour everything together (First mix a little with your starter inside yogourmet container) add the rest, mix good, and start. If you use normal milk you have to bee so careful and cleanup is terrible if you burn the milk but powdered milk is easy heat water add milk no mess. Very Quick and easy
