When did you start drinking it? I saw some at the grocery today and picked it up. LO is nearly two weeks old. He is currently primsy breastfed and we are supplementing with expressed milk and formula did it help? Any tips?
-
I started as soon as LO was born until my milk came in.. Now, I only drink it when I need a boost. Btw, it's sold on Amazon for crazy cheap!
-
I drank it as often as I could remember! Especially at work since I was pumping. I didn't see a huge difference but I'm sure it still helped (liquids on general help). If you want more of a boost try more milk plus tincture!

No, but it's grosssssssss. I mixed it half with lemonade and drank it twice a day like the dr suggested and i ended up plugging my nose and chugging. Did nothing for me. I hated it.
-
@blackbird: the box says to drink at least 3 cups a day.
When I drink the tea and eat brewers yeast I see about a 4-5 oz. increase. Neither tastes good, but it's worth it for me..
I eat the brewers yeast with almond butter and put honey in the tea to make it taste better.

I started drinking the earth mama Angel baby tea while waiting for my milk to come in. We are EBF so I don't know if it is doing anything, but I don't mind the taste.

@T-Mom: What is milk plus tincture and where do you get it?@LaineysMom: Wow, 4-5 oz is awesome! Where do you get the brewer's yeast? I see several kinds on amazon but not sure which one is the best.
Just had my first cup tonight and I actually like the flavor!

If you search hellobee for "more milk plus" you will probably find some threads related to this product. It works for a lot of moms to increase supply but its just an herb blend in tincture form or pill form. -
@maybebaby: I'm taking the pill form. I'm trying (desperately) to increase my supply after an early hit. I read somewhere that I should be pumping an ounce on each side per 15 minute session! If I'm lucky, I get 20 mL per...

@Espion: is that after you BF? Same here. If it replaces a BF session I get combined 2.5 in 15 but need more to keep up!@T-Mom: thanks!
-
@maybebaby: Yup, after breastfeeding. But I'm now limiting him to 10 minutes each side just for the stimulation. I'm finger/tube feeding him my pumped milk and formula because of his high bilirubin and my poor supply...
-
@Espion: aww little buddy! It sounds like you're doing all the right things to boost, I hope you are some results soon!
-
@maybebaby: I actually don't mind the taste either. I got the brewers yeast from the vitamin shoppe bc it was cheaper than amazon.. The 2 that I've tried have been the same. It tastes pretty yucky, but not too bad when mixed with almond butter. gL!
