stinging nettle stings?

Ok… all breastfeeding moms know that, during "those" days…

The breastmilk supply will drop…

And therefore, I was desperately trying to increase the breastmilk supply over the weekend…

And that, I'd a botttle of stinging nettle, which I got from the local drug store,

Which, they ran out of fenugreek, and they told me, this, will do the same trick too…

I used it when I was still breastfeeding baby,

And now, I gotta use it, for gabriel…

For some reason, I wanted to get away with the rubber/plastic capsule,

So, I opened up the capsule and put it into my herbal tea…

For the past 3 nights…

And THAT…

Well… well…

Of course, as of now, I still can't confirm,

Till my next "test", but then…

Those nights (later, I recalled, I kept thinking thinking thinking of any changes lately, or any food that I've taken) that I've been taking stinging nettle,

Gabriel wasn't sleeping soundly,

He cried, cried hard, cried loud!

I blamed it on the teething… (again, maybe it's because of teething…) and it was bad,

See! if it's teething…

He didn't even allow me to massage his gum,

He didn't let me pat him, or console him,

He was irritable, and he would push my hand away, whenever I was trying to touch him…

He was so tired, and yet, he couldn't fall asleep…

During the days, we could see his dark eye rings, or red-eyes…

I was very bothered because of that,

And that, I thought about the supplement I was taking…

On the other hand,

My milk supply seemed to get back to normal, and that's why, as of last night, I stopped the supplement,

Surprisingly,

He slept soundly…

Again, as of now, today, second day without stinging nettle,

He's sleeping soundly again now,

So, teething?

Stinging nettle?

Hm…

See… I was trying to "research" regarding this, online!

And I couldn't find any clue,

All breastfeeding related sites mentioned, THIS is something to help boost the breastmilk supply,

But then, I came across something that's a little bit bothering me,

Ie. from webmd, it did mention, THIS, shouldn't be taken, if you're pregnant, or if you're breastfeeding…

Huh???

Now what?
