Mothers Milk organic tea

mommyof3boy · July 2015

Hi ladies! My little man is 9 days old today and was born via c-section - I've been breastfeeding and pumping since he was born to increase my milk supply since it took forever for it to come in. I am still doing both but still need to supplement 2-3 bottles a day of formula due to still having a low milk supply. Has anyone tried the Mothers Milk Organic Tea? Does it work?

This would be a great question for you to post in one of the several existing breastfeeding threads. More people may respond that way.

Yes, but I recommend using a supplement that has the same ingredients as the tea including fenugreek and blessed thistle just more of it. A company named motherlove has many organic products, I use their more milk herbal supplement that doesn't have fenugreek because I have thyroid issues and fenugreek is contraindicated for me, but it has definitely helped. Good luck!

You can try fenugreek as well as eating lots of oatmeal, drink Gatorade to stay hydrated, make sure you are eating enough, make some lactation cookies and drink dark beers. This was all recommended by my LC. Good luck!

Be careful with lactation cookies, my supply was good, had the cookies to boost so I could pump & feed ended up with agonising nipple thrush for 2 weeks totally interupted our no problem bf. Had to stop feeding, jut pumping & formula then had to get her to relatch after 2 weeks of just the bottle. I'm now on motillium tablets to get my supply back to what it was all because of those damned cookies. Go the beer

I've been drinking 3 cups of mothers milk tea daily but since i started drinking it the day I gave birth, i can't tell you that I saw an increase. However, a friend of mine started drinking it when her LO was a few weeks old after already starting to pump and she saw an increase in her output after about 2 days drinking it. She immediately got a couple extra ounces when she pumped.
