    I tried it and never saw any effects on ds.   But that tea is NASTY!  I put lots of sugar and honey in it to get it to be bare-able!

    I never found any side effects for my babies or the women's babies that I worked with, although *some* babies have a hard time with the anise that is in it. Fennel is supposed to calm the tummy and anise is supposed to get rid of gas - and both are considered galactogogues - milk producers.

     

    I agree though, I usually added a bit of raw sugar or honey, unless you like high black licorice flavor.

    I've been drinking 3 cups of this almost every day since April.  Since I pump 3 times at work, I pretty well make it my routine to drink 1 cup during each pumping.  I forget on the weekends (plus it is so hot out now) and I do notice a difference if I don't drink it for several days.  I found the best price at Kroger and now I enjoy drinking it.

    I add 1 Splenda.

    I hate the taste of that tea.

    I was taking Fenugreek (3 capsules) and  Blessed Thistle (3) capsules twice  a day.

    I'm now taking More Milk plus capsules on the recommendation of my lactation consultant.
