What About Fenugreek?
Alan has had his fair share of issues, and high on the list is laziness.  It was diagnosed in the NICU and continues today, he's just not a good eater.  That being said, he spends a lot of time eating, but just doesn't make the most of it.  A suggestion from a lactation consultant led us to a spice called fenugreek, or as I like to call it: 'fen·u·stink' or 'fen·u·reak'.  It is said to increase the supply of mothers milk, but such benefits come at a cost.  Commonly used in curries, fenugreek smells just like it says, a curry spice, a pungent curry spice.  And it emanates.  It increases the milk supply by increasing sweat production and although Alan is benefitting, Angie, and those in close enough proximity, are suffering.  Needless to say, curry is not on this weeks menu.
