Guest guest Posted February 23, 1999 Report Share Posted February 23, 1999 I have been using this Mothers Milk tea now for a week and it has increased my milk dramatically! My son, born Jan 15, at 9lbs 7oz gained only 7oz in four weeks so my pediatrician put me on a one week " test " to see if I could increase my milk. I went to my health food store and explained my dilemma and I was given the Tea as well as Fenugreek capsules and Folic Acid capsules. Previous to this week I had been drinking the tea a few times a day with not success. The herbalist at the store told me to use 2-4 bags of tea per cup of hot water. Sure enough the first night after drinking this more potent tea my milk came flowing out. Been doing this about 2-3 times a day and I haven't had a problem since. In fact I just went back for the week checkin with my pediatrician and my son gained 11oz in a week!!!! So excited about this. Hope it works for you! Amy Jill mother's milk tea After the many posts about fenugreek, I decided to give it a try. I need alittle extra help. I am pumping at work and not getting as much as I used to. Sometimes none at all! Anyway, I went to my local health food store, talked to a lady who worked there, said she was a LLL leader. She reccomended a Mother's milk tea, by Traditional Medicinals. It has Fennel seed, anise seed, coriander seed, spearmint leaf, lemongrass, lemon verbena leaf, althea root, blessed thistle leaf and fenugreek seed. Has anyone tried this or something like it? Just wonder how it is going to work and if I should have just gotten the pills. It didn't cost much. Didn't even look at the pills.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 1999 Report Share Posted February 23, 1999 Amy Jill, Glad to hear that your son gained weight this past week. Good Job! You and your great milk. I knew everything would be okay. I have been thinking about you and your boy. My main problem with the tea, like I said, is the taste.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 1999 Report Share Posted March 1, 1999 , I still take prenatals and I also take C & E. It's always worth checking into though. I think having kids just makes you tired and there's not much to be done about that. Wendi Re: Mother's milk tea Thanks Wendi ) I was thinking that same thing...he loves nursing for the joy of it! But I swear I am getting so tired. I'm thinking of going in to my Naturopath and having my blood work done...check and see if I need perhaps a bit of iron or something??? I'm taking vitamins now on and off. /indigo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
