mother's milk tea?

Saw a sample in our lactation room in the NICU. Has anyone tried it and did it work to increase your milk production. Thanks

  • I used it... I did think it helped.  But then again I used everything except domperidone.  The tea combined with fenugreek and blessed thistle helped... reglan really helped the best, but I didn't want to be on it long term.

  • I think it helped. I couldn't take the Fenugreek capsules b/c they were too big and the taste gagged me if I tried to sprinkle it on food, but the tea was good! The only thing that REALLY worked was domperidone.

  • I used the tea and did notice a difference.  I was also eating tons of oatmeal, drinking tons and water.  But my supply never did increase enough to keep up  with the demands of DS.  I also tried Reglan ...... but that made me feel awful!!!

  • Hi, I am usually a lurker but I figured now is as good a time as any to show myself lol. I started using it before but I had stopped because of the odor of my sweat, now I have no choice but to go back on because my production has dropped remarkably and it helped along with oatmeal and almonds.
  • I tried it but didn't like the taste so my lactation consultant suggested the fenugreek capsules yesterday.  I haven't started them yet so I don't really know if they work or not.
