Mother's milk to aide milk supply? Any other suggestions?

imsoexcited915 · September 2015

is this really helpful to help improve milk supply? Was told this tea helps. Any other ideas?

I drink this tea and I also take Motherlove's More Milk Special Blend tincture. Tastes like death but works wonders. They have a pill version but it doesn't work as well.

Instead of that just get the actual herbs that go into it... It will be more potent and cost you less. Fenugreek and blessed thistle are the most important.

I used the Motherlove's more milk in pill form. You have to take it several times a day to work well (I think 4 or 6 times) otherwise you are just wasting $. When I used it as frequently as directed it did increase my milk supply. However, I produced almost nothing (I counted by the mL, b/c I never could get an ounce).

In the end the cost was way too much, on top of renting a hospital grade pump and supplementing with formula.

I think it is worth trying, and hopefully it works for you.

I drank Mother's Milk Tea and swore it helped with my output while pumping. I think by the end of my journey I found the taste not so bad. Just push through, drink the tea, and drink lots of water in between.

Milky worked really well for me. It's all the herbs that are supposed to increase supply in a strawberry flavored drink. It doesn't taste that great though.

I've had some luck with Honest Co's Lactation Plus pills. Working slightly better than taking 12 each fenugreek & blessed thistle daily. At $20 for a one month supply (plus shipping since my Target doesn't carry them) I'm still debating value - I think they've increased my output by 1-1.5 oz total (both boobs) per pumping session.

I drink a 32oz Powerade when my supply drops and it picks up the next day.

It didn't work for me but oatmeal, Moringa and goats rue ended up being the winning combination

I sometimes drink the Mother's Milk tea and noticed it does help a bit.. It could be placebo effect in my case of course. Optimism always helps me out the most. I've just started fenugreek and blessed thistle.. Again, a small difference.

I have heard good things about Gatorade and Powerade and other electrolyte drinks helping people. Good luck!

I have found on the days when I drink Mothers Milk Tea and eat oatmeal/malt-o-meal I produce about 6 oz above the days that I skip one or both.
The tea tastes like black licorice which I hate, so I doctor my tea with lemon juice, honey and sugar. It still helps a good amount.

I read something about coconut water helping to increase supply. It is very hydrating and replaces electrolytes similar to Gatorade.

No tea or anything, but my sister, who has breast fed 3 babies, said even after you breastfeed, go pump. She said that really helped increase her supply. Sometimes she gets 1oz, others she gets 6-8oz. And it upped her supply.
