Mothers Milk tea?

LaNorteLaNorte member
in April 2014 Moms
I asked this is the breastfeeding group but didn't get much reply, and I wanted to go shopping today, so...... If any of you use mothers milk tea, what brand do you use? I did a google search and came up with so many different kinds, and they don't always list the ingredients or the amount of each herb in a serving. Or if you don't use the tea, what other supplements do you take? I know fenugreek, fennel, blessed thistle are recommended for helping lactation, but how many mg do you take a day? Any help is appreciated... the amount of "stuff" out there is overwhelming.

    Earth mama angel baby- milk maid tea. I swear that's what helped my milk come in so well while my baby was in NICU for the first week. I still have a cup a day. Can order it online or I've purchased it at Babies R Us

    I've been drinking traditional medicinals mothers milk - 1 or 2 cups a day. And take one capsule of fenugreek at breakfast, lunch and dinner.

    Mine comes in a pink box that I picked up at the grocery store for like $5. If you go with that brand, I'd suggest getting it off of Amazon since it's only $22 for six boxes. I also tried the milkmaid tea by EMAB. That one has more fenugreek in it and made me smell like syrup unlike the Traditional Medicinals one.

    This! It doesn't taste great compared to other brands but it works the best. You have to drink a crap load of it, haha... I think they recommend 3 cups a day?

    1 fenugreek 3 times?! I'm jealous I'm taking 3 3 times a day so expensive

    Awesome advice, thank you. They have the traditional medicinal at our pharmacy, so I think I'll pick up a box of that while I order the EMAB & wait for it to arrive.

    I use a mothers milk tea but I beeline it's a local brand (Toronto) and comes in a paper bag. I get it at great Canadian superstore in the organic section
    As for fenugreek I take 3 capsules 3 times a day

    Fenugreek capsules. I was not a fan of the teas. The maple syrup smell it gives you is gross though

    The bottle dosage is what someone should take for other reasons besides lactating. My LC said for it to be effective for BF you need to take 3/3x a day and smell like maple syrup

    Dumb iPhone always cuts my reply off...I also said that the more milk plus special blend has really helped my supply. I do not like the teas so I went this route. Just another option for you!

    Good to know, thanks! I generally like tea, but had considered taking a fenugreek supplement as well.
