After each feed pump for 8-10 minutes,  or until the last few drops are expressed.  This will tell your body that you need more.  Also do you smell like maple syrup? Weird,  but a sign that you're taking enough fenugreek to be effective. You can take up to 3 capsules 3 times per day. Oatmeal, water, mothers milk tea, 3-5 cups per day.
