In reply to Wellness Mama. Is Dandy Blend gluten free? I noticed it contains extracts of barley.

I follow the AIP diet for thyroid issues and also have MTHFR. I’ve heard that because of this, it is probably best not to have fenugreek. Can you make this without fenugreek and still have it be effective? Thanks!

Hello! Which herbs used in this formula are not safe for pregnancy? I did a simple google search and didn’t see any that were on this list. Thank you!

In reply to Amy. Hi Katie! I would also like to know how many cups we should be drinking per day of this tea. Going to make this before baby comes. LOVE your page. Thanks for sharing all your insight

In reply to Dana. I might take a few days off of the tea and see if that makes a difference?

I love this tea! I miss wondering, however, if it could cause an oversupply or forceful letdown? I’ve experienced the forceful letdown for the first time (4th baby) and the tea is my only real change. Do you think I should continue drinking it? Thank you!

Which of these herbs are not recommended for pregnancy? I’ll be tandem nursing and am working to keep my supply up right now, and did not realize there were any contraindictions with any of the herbs mentioned in this recipe… Happy to eliminate particular questionable ones. Thanks in advance!

This tea sounds great, but how does it taste? Lol. Some of these can be so bitter that I end up not being able to drink it.

In reply to Dana. I *just* had a baby (12/28/15) and I nursed my 21-month-old during the whole time I was pregnant. My toddler is old enough that she really only nursed a couple of times during the day, like before bed, so my supply was pretty low anyway. I had no trouble with colostrum coming in correctly... my milk sort of switched over during the couple days before my son was born. My mom tells me that when she was nursing me and pregnant with my sister, she started having uterine contractions when nursing me, so apparently that can be a thing, though.

In reply to Dana. It's different for everyone, honestly. I did produce less milk when pregnant. It is hard to say if it was part of the natural weaning process (baby was nursing less and eating more food) or due to the pregnancy, though. I would ask your doctor about nursing right up to your due date... I know some women who have done so with no issues, and some women who had trouble with the nursing threatening to cause pre-term labor.

Hi wellness mama! I am nursing right now and hoping to get pregnant again here soon… I know you said you were pregnant and nursing at the same time… I had always heard that when your pregnant you don’t make very much milk. We’re you only nursing 1 or 2 times a day weening the little one off or did you eat or drink stuff to help you make more milk while pregnant? Also… Do you need to stop nursing before your delivery date so you start making colostrum for new baby? Thanks for any help!!!

in Nepal people make soup with fenugreek and ajwain seeds for the lactating mothers and it is supposed to help increase the milk supply.

Hi! Just wondering if you can recommend any other prenatals other than the seeking health optimal prenatal? It’s a little out of my price range but I really want to take something that will not be harmful to me or baby!

Thanks so much

Hi Katie,
I think we are due around the same time…end of this month. I am hypothyroid and had much trouble with my milk supply with my first. The Motherlove tincture, MoreMilkPlus worked very well. It’s main ingredient is fenugreek. I’ll have to ask my midwife if this tea and the tincture might be too much.
Thanks for all you do!

Have you tried using Jnantik Mayan Mothers Tea for milk production?! It is the best and tastiest tea I have tried and is made with an ancient Mayan superfood called Mayan seed:)

In reply to Riki. Well, apparently all I needed to do was submit a comment. They were in fact links, and I now can see them all.
