noticeable change (2009-06-19)
i started drinking this tea when my daughter was two weeks old; i brew a huge pot with 5 bags, steep until it cools, and then store it in the fridge to chug throughout the day. i noticed an increase in my milk production after about 4 days--i went from pumping 1/2 to 1oz to at least 2oz every time (while nursing full-time). i agree the price is steep and that fenugreek tincture might be better, but it has worked for me. i hate licorice but the taste is mild and much more tolerable when iced!

It worked... kind of (2009-04-29)
I bought this after my daughter went through a nursing strike at two months to help build my milk supply back up so we could continue to breastfeed. I noticed a little bit of an increase in my supply but it wasn't quite enough and, ultimately, nursing still didn't work out for us past three months.

Thank God for this tea! (2009-01-15)
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!

helps but not enough for me (2008-12-28)
Mother's milk tea works exceptionally well for some women (friends of mine). For me, it doubled my milk supply which went from 1.5 oz a day (yes, you read that right) to 3 oz a day at its best. I could tell the difference when I didn't drink the tea but the tea alone is not sufficient to boosting milk supply to what is required and typical of a nursing mother. So, I had to supplement with formula for sure! the tea tastes good though and I kind of miss it as I discontinued breast feeding (due to lack of milk supply even with the tea at this point).

Helpful & tasty (2008-12-22)
This producted helped increase my milk during a stressful time. It has a pleasant taste and was well priced.
