Dandelion Tea
Dandelion tea — made from either the root or leaves of the dandelion plant — is generally considered safe while breastfeeding and is a good source of vitamins and minerals. It's often used as a gentle liver support and digestive aid.
📈Traditionally used as a mild galactagogue; evidence is mostly anecdotal
Dandelion is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron and calcium — nutrients nursing mothers need. It has mild diuretic properties (especially the leaf), so stay hydrated. No adverse effects in breastfed infants have been reported at normal dietary intake. Some sources list it as a mild galactagogue, though evidence is anecdotal.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
