I started drinking green tea (partially replacing my water consumption) yesterday, and weird enuf, McBoobies seemed to function more efficiently, not always so-low in supply. Wonder if there’s anything in green tea that stimulates milk production? (Audrey)

The Nursing Mothers’ Teas are unique blend of herbs* made with the post-partum, nursing mother in mind. They are designed to enhance milk production and supply, promote a restoration to health after the trials of labor, as well as calm, soothe, and lift the spirits of the nursing mother. All the herbs in the teas are organically grown and entirely earth and animal friendly. These teas contain no caffeine, black tea, or orange pekoke tea. These teas are NOT reccomended for pregnant women. (Sze Sze)

My sister, Nazreen (discovered that expressing while nursing worked wonders. (Shahareen)

Regarding food, I remembered eating a lot of garlic & shallots. We Indians believe eating shark will increase your milk supply. So I had a lot of that. Besides that I had oats & horlicks. (Sheela)

My advice to all you mums who are serious & commited to breastfeed your baby is that you should NEVER supplement with formula during the crucial early months. If you do your milk supply will surely diminish. Feed on DEMAND & not the clock! The more your baby suckles, the more your body will produce breastmilk.To build up your milk supply, eat a healthy & nutritious meals & let your baby feed on demand. During the night your body produces more milk. Due to the fact that breastmilk gets digested fast, your baby will be waking up very often. To make it easier, you should cosleep with your baby so that you can nurse on demand. (Sheela)
