Mother's Milk Tea
Mother's Milk Tea is a popular lactation blend designed specifically for nursing mothers. It contains fennel, anise, coriander, fenugreek, and other galactagogue herbs. Many parents find it helpful for supply, but the herbs in it — especially fenugreek — can have side effects and aren't appropriate for everyone.
Follow package directions; consult IBCLC for supply concerns; not appropriate for peanut/chickpea allergies due to fenugreek
📈Formulated as a galactagogue blend; individual results vary; fenugreek component has mixed evidence
The main active herbs in Mother's Milk Tea include fenugreek (which can cause maple syrup odor in milk and urine, and is contraindicated in peanut/chickpea allergies), fennel (estrogenic properties), anise, and coriander. Fenugreek has mixed evidence for supply — some parents report increases while others notice decreases. Consult a lactation consultant before relying on this as a supply strategy. If you tolerate it well and it's working, moderate daily use is common, but be aware of the individual herb caveats.
