Wouldn’t be recommended, but, for a short time probably isn’t a big deal. Increasing Milk Production [posted 11/4/98] Question: I am a nursing mother that is not producing enough breat milk. A lactation consultant recommended some herbs (Fenugreek, Alphalpha and Blessed Thistle) but have not produced any results. She also recommended a drug called Reglan. Though it’s used for Reflux in small children, it has produced results for nursing mothers. Has anyone had any experience with using Reglan for increasing a mothers milk supply? Answer: I would not do this since it is potentially passed to your child. Better to augment with formula. An age old problem with no great cures.
