Ginger Tea

Ginger tea is a wonderful choice while breastfeeding — it's caffeine-free, great for nausea and digestion, and has a long history of safe use. Enjoy it freely in reasonable amounts.

📈Some evidence suggests ginger may modestly support milk supply, though research is limited
Ginger is well-established as safe in culinary and tea quantities. It passes minimally into breast milk and has not been associated with adverse effects in nursing infants. Some galactagogue (supply-boosting) effects have been suggested in small studies, though evidence is preliminary. It's particularly helpful for the postpartum period when digestion can be sluggish.
