Hi there! I am the proud mama to a 3 yo boy and a 2 month old little girl. We live in the PNW and last "grey season"(Late October to May), DS was sick, recovering or avoiding getting sick again it seemed like 85% of the...

With DS it took about a month to truly build up my supply(I still had to keep taking herbs), but even then I only went from 50% to 75%. Some women can correct it in a week. I think it all depends. I'm confused about the when part. Do...
