I have used Breastea while breastfeeding both of my children, and I’ve had great results with it.
Naturally, I have low milk supply. Without Breastea, I pump about an ounce. This is using a hospital grade breast pump and dual pumping.
Using Breastea, I get between 4 to 5 ounces per pumping.
So if you are looking to increase your milk supply, it’s worth a try. Before using Breastea, I tried fenugreek capsules by themself. I know that many moms get an increase in milk supply from using just fenugreek, but for me personally it didn’t do anything.
Try using different things until you find something that works for you. Just make sure you give it time to work before giving up on it.
Hang in there!
One high-quality, 16 ounces of beer per night will
increase your milk supply. Get the beer without all the
additives and flavorings.
Try eating more milk and/or cheese. Good luck.
Dark beer is the most fun advice so far, and works well. Homeopathic remedies to try: Calcarea Carbonica (30C), few pills under the tongue twice daily for 3 days. Urtica Urens is stinging nettle, it can be used homeopathically in low potency (3C, or 6C, or 12C), or in herbal tincture (5-10 drops in water 3 or 4 times daily) or as a tea brewed from dried leaves, readily available at health food stores (several cups daily). Alfalfa tincture can also be very helpful and nourishing. Sprinkle Lecithin granules on your food, drink loads of water, get a lot of rest, put baby to the breast very often. Good luck!
