WOW!! I was doing just fine until my little one started hitting mini-growth spurts. I had been giving her a bottle of pumped milk twice a day when I had to take medicine that I didn't want in my system when I nursed. So, when I got off the medicine, I noticed that those times of day, I was not producing AT ALL. If you don't use it, you lose it, so they say. I was desperately nursing every hour just for my girl to get SOMETHING and stimulate production, but it didn't work and we were both frustrated and tired.

I read about Fenugreek seed and couldn't find it, but stumbled upon this tea. Within 24 hours I was so engorged that I had to pump!! I now still use it just to be able to store up frozen milk for when my husband and I go out or I run an errand and don't want to have to find somewhere to nurse. My milk supply now doesn't even begin to run out when I use the pumped milk and skip nursing.

I wish that I could tell every mom about this. I think less women would give up on nursing due to lack of milk, if they knew about this tea! And it's so inexpensive. I drink at least 2 cups a day. I love the taste. It's sweet and minty. I just add a little sugar.

I have been taking Fenugreek to increase my milk production, but I haven't noticed much of a difference. I started drinking the Organic Mother's Milk Tea twice a day and I noticed an increase in production in one day. This is a great product! I only wish I had tried it sooner! Some people complain about the taste, but I think is fine. I usually drink it plain, without any type of sweetener. I actually look forward to drinking it now.

I was having trouble building up my milk supply so I could both nurse my son and pump milk to store in preparation for my return to work. A friend recommended this tea to me. I only had to drink 3 cups of this tea before I saw an increase in my milk supply, and I only need to drink 1 cup a day to maintain that supply. I wasn't sure I would like the taste, but it is surprisingly pleasant, not too sweet or artificial. Try it for yourself.

I don't even know where to begin to express my relief in finding this tea! I've been determined to exclusively breastfeed my daughter since she was born and was doing so with no problem until I got mastitis. 2 weeks of antibiotics and pumping & dumping took a toll on my supply, especially when my daughter got used to the bottle. At three months my supply went down to about 14oz total all day. I had to start supplementing which I hated and was almost in tears for a week as I watched my supply get lower and lower. i was told about this tea by a nutritionist and it's been a Godsend! My milk is up to almost twice as much from just having one or two cups a day. I'll admit that i'm not crazy about the flavor. Tastes like black licorice which I hate, but it's definitely drinkable. I just drink it cold with lemon and sugar and hold my breath. I'm a believer now and would recommend it to anyone!

I wish I would have known about this with my first child!

I successfully breastfed my first child for three years but also had the luxury of staying home with her. Returning to work after my second child has been a little easier in knowing that I can still provide pumped breast milk for him!

I tried this tea in hopes that it would both help with my supply when I cannot be home and with my letdown while pumping. So far a success! I drink three cups daily. I try to drink a cup about a half hour before pumping while at work, as well! It helps tremendously!

For those of you who are truly committed to breastfeeding this product is very much a help!!

I like the Organic Mother's Milk tea very much. It has helped increase my milk supply which is typically low. The flavor is just fine if you like herbs. I add a little splenda to mine to sweeten it up. If you drink the recommended maximum of five cups per day it also has the added benefit of increasing your intake of liquids which is important when nursing. I have also noticed that the smell of the tea does not come out through my pores much like the fenugreek supplement did which I have taken in the past.The only problem I have with it is that is quite expensive if you decide to drink it during your entire nursing experience. Thus, that is the reason for 4 stars. However, I would highly recommend it.

I found this tea to be very helpful in increasing my milk supply. It also seemed to calm my baby (who had colic). The taste was fine, I would brew up four cups at a time and then sip throughout the day.

My daughter is 2 months old and began using this product when she was 5 weeks old. I had a hard time producing enough milk for her. I would only pump about 1-1/2 oz per session; now I am pumping an average of 2-3 oz.

After several issues including cracked nipples, poor latch, problems pumping, and a fussy baby I decided to start to ween at 3 weeks. By the time she was 4 weeks old I was down to two nursing sessions a day and supplementing with formula for the rest. Then, as I healed and felt less stress about nursing the whole process got easier so I decided to try to increase my nursing/pumping sessions and decrease her formula intake. Unfortunately, by that point I could only pump 1/4 ounce per breast and she was easily taking in 3 ounces per session with the bottle. I ordered a case of this tea and took the recommended dosage for 2 weeks without success. Then I tried increasing the dose to two bags at a time, 4 times a day. You do have to take the time to steep it corectly (10 minutes, covered). I saw minimal results after increasing the dosage which could have also been attributed to increasing the number of pumping sessions or additional water intake per day rather than the tea. If you're used to herbal teas you probably won't mind the taste too much. It's rather nice with a bit of milk and honey added in. It does smell faintly of black licorice, but I never noticed it in the flavor. After I finished off the case of tea I tried fenugreek capsules and saw a bit better improvement in supply (an additional 2-3 ounces per day). I can now pump about 4-6 ounces a day (up from a total of 2 ounces a day when I first started) while I'm at work and I nurse her at the start of every feeding at home. I still need to supplement with formula since she'll now take in between 4-6 ounces at a time at 3 months old. I wish I was one of the lucky ones to see an increase of 6-8 ounces per feeding/pumping session, but I'm happy that I was able to bring my supply back as much as I have. Now I'm combining Blessed Thistle with Fenugreek to see if I can get any additional output. 15 pills a day has been challenging for me, particularly since I'm not the best at swallowing them. I'm trying to hang on to my supply, as low as it may be, as long as I can though. So, for me it's worth it. Definitely give the tea a try if you're having trouble with supply, but just know that it has such low doses of the herbs that it isn't effective for everyone. If you don't have success with the tea it's worth trying out fenugreek and blessed thistle too.

I've always had problems pumping enough milk from the very beginning. I went from pumping around 3 ounces at work to 4 or even (sometimes) 5 ounces. I've always aimed to get 3 pumps of 4 ounces each and I was always coming up way short. Now, I have enough to give my son extra milk each day.

I can tell that I get more milk after I've had some tea verses when I've had very little tea. I have more milk at noon with the tea, than in the morning after hardly any tea. I have more milk later in the week after 3 days of tea, than on Monday morning after a weekend of no tea.

I usually have to have 3 to 5 cups of tea a day. You do get used to the taste. The only side effects I have noticed is that it makes me thirsty (more than likely from producing more milk), it gives me hot flashes, and it makes my son's toots really smelly. :)
