Customer Reviews of Organic Mother's Milk Tea 16 Bags
Customer Review: Every nursing mother should know about this!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Thank God for this tea!

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!Customer Review: It really works
Summary: 5 Stars
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. :)
Customer Review: Works but Nasty Taste
Summary: 4 Stars
I believe it works as recommended by my midwife. Fenugreek and Fennel seeds are known to aid lactation.
Also try the leaves of the HORSERADISH TREE. For poor countries in Asia, this is one of the fave ingredients. I got my tree from an online website from Florida. If you live in a warm region, I highly recommend this. You can get it frozen in some Asian groceries.
Fenugreek and Fennel seeds are alright, but it taste weird. I bought the tea but I decided to make my own. You can go and buy the seeds online or to your local Indian grocery store.
But I think I'll stick with the the horseradish tree leaves. I highly highly recommend this plant. Do your research on books and on the internet. I add it to my soup and dishes or salad.
Customer Review: It worked for me!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ever since birth, my now 2-month old son is a very aggressive eater, and there are times of the day I could not breastfeed him exclusively without this tea. I've been drinking 1-2 cups per day for the past 6 weeks, and it helps to keep my supply up. I did make the "mistake" of drinking my first 1/2 cup just before bed the first time I tried it. I had been having supply issues during the evening, and after that 1/2 cup of tea I was so engorged all night I had more than enough to feed him and had to pump in between feedings to relieve pressure. The taste really isn't bad, it's good with honey or even with sugar if you must have your tea super-sweet. I'm usually really skeptical about natural remedies, it was a pleasant surprise to see it work as advertised.
