This is my second child, and I didn't produce well for the first one, so
I'd pretty much resigned myself to minimal milk production and the
theory that anything was better than nothing. I was pumping at work
three times a day and taking home about 9 ounces of milk total (and at
that, it's more than I'd managed with the first child) when I caught a
cold, and my production started to dwindle again, even though I wasn't
taking any drugs. Frustrated but unwilling to wean my baby at only 2
months old, I started taking this tea in the hope that it would at least
sustain my current level of production. Because it's a little on the
expensive side (I was buying it locally at the full retail price) I only
drank 3 cups a day. (It recommends 3-5.)

A week later, with my cold only just starting to clear up, I was taking
home almost 12 ounces of milk. Another week and a half later, I'm
catching another cold (the downside of having 2 kids in daycare...) but
I'm taking home a solid 14-15 ounces of milk every day. This tea is the
ONLY THING I have done differently -- no other supplements or dietary
changes, no changes in feeding or pumping schedules -- so I know for
sure it's the tea that's doing it!

I don't know where its effectiveness will level out, or if my production
will continue to stay elevated if I stop drinking the tea, but at this
point, I'm just thrilled with the short term results!

I returned to work when my little guy was 3 months old and by 5 months I
had used ALL my freezer stash. My baby had only had breastmilk but I
couldn't keep up with what they fed him at daycare.

He eats 16oz while I am at work. I was pumping 3-4 times at work for 20
minutes at a time and only getting 2 1/2 oz per session. I was so
frustrated and exhausted! I tried everything: more water, more frequent
pumping sessions, more frequent nursing while with the baby, I even
took a nursing weekend where all I did was nurse and pump and rest but I
still couldn't get more than 3 oz per pumping session.
