Product Information

A herb used by Greeks and other Mediterranean cultures in ancient times to cure various diseases tied to the liver and the urinary tract. A plant that’s well known to many vegans and vegetarians as an excellent iron substitute, stinging nettle is a fantastic herb when it comes to treating anemia and strengthening one’s immune system against allergic reactions. Caffeine can reach your baby through your breast milk. Caffeine is a stimulant, so if you have a lot, it may make your baby restless and keep them awake. Feverfew:Feverfew is a traditional migraine remedy, but it is not recommended for breastfeeding mothers. There is evidence correlating ingestion of feverfew’s active ingredient parthenolide with gastric distress and rebound headaches upon discontinuation in adults. However, no studies have been conducted establishing the susceptibility of infants to parthenolide, nor its transmissibility through breastmilk. This ensures a relaxing day with a nice cup of healthy tea to sip while providing for the needs of your child or working, whichever the case may be.

Goat’s rue is said to help the liver, the adrenal gland, and digestion in addition to its potential lactation benefits.

It is best to start with 3 cups per day, after feeds to replenish the supply. Once the supply has increased, the number of cups can be reduced to maintain. The numbers vary because it often depends on how long you steep your tea. The longer you steep the tea bag before you drink it, the higher the caffeine content will be. Does tea cause colic in breastfed babies?Yes, you should avoid spearmint tea while breastfeeding because it’s known to decrease your milk supply. The amount of spearmint it takes to have a negative effect varies from mother to mother. One mother might see a decrease in supply after 1-2 cups of spearmint tea, while another will need to drink quarts of tea to see a reduction in milk supply. More studies are necessary to determine how much peppermint transfers to breast milk. For example, according to a study from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, small amounts of menthol are excreted in breast milk. However, there aren’t currently any other studies to help us determine whether you should avoid spearmint tea while breastfeeding due to safety reasons. Avoid drinking spearmint unless told otherwise by a medical professional. Alternatively, mothers who produce an excess of milk may find spearmint tea useful to reduce milk supply. Is lemongrass tea okay while breastfeeding?

You do not need to follow a special diet while you're breastfeeding. But it's a good idea for you, just like everyone else, to eat a healthy diet with a variety of foods every day. While herbal teas for breastfeeding might be potent solutions for a milk shortage or a sudden drop in milk supply for nursing moms and provide excellent nursing support, they’re also considered very powerful drugs should be taken seriously.While not really a medicinal issue of any kind, it’s purely for the fact that you’ll have your hands full with your baby in the first place and the liquid inside is bound to be hot.

The problem with the tea ingested herbs is that we’re simply not used to teas being a ‘medicinal’ drink, but rather something we get to enjoy whenever we want. It’s equally as important to note as when taking herbal supplements as overdosing might cause a whole array of complications down the line.Now, this is only a partial misconception as sometimes the ingredients of the herbal teas might contain something that you could be allergic to. In addition, breastfeeding is convenient. You can breastfeed your baby anywhere when needed. With formula milk, you need sterilized feeding bottles, water, utensils and formula milk power to prepare the milk.
