Love Tea & Breastfeeding

Maintaining a healthy breast milk supply naturally

We recommend taking a holistic approach to your health, when trying to increase milk production. A wholesome and healthy diet rich in nuts and seeds, grains and fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables, is essential to healthy milk production.

It can be hard to find the time to prepare healthy meals with a new little baby in your life, so coming up with quick and easy snacks and meals is important. Preparing snacks in advance can save you time and ensure you don’t have to continually prepare food throughout your day. Bliss balls, or a wholesome nut slice, are great to have on hand. Making a smoothie or a fresh juice is simple and quick, yet super nutritious. Meditation, yoga and exercise are great ways to give back to your mind and your body, as it carries you through this challenging and demanding time.

Our breastfeeding tea has become one of our most popular products, and we have had an extremely positive response from breastfeeding women who have used this product to support healthy lactation. This blend has specifically helped women suffering from poor lactation, to increase their milk supply, and helping maintain healthy milk supply ongoing. Herbs used in this blend have also traditionally been used to support the baby’s digestive system, especially if they suffer from digestive issues, as the herbs used in our breastfeeding tea can also help with colic.

Will breastfeeding tea help to increase milk supply?

As breastfeeding is the best source of nutrients for a new baby, we believe in supporting healthy lactation, to ensure breastfeeding is as simple and as easy as possible. If there are issues and complications with milk production, we believe the best place to start treating these, is by addressing the underlying cause and to do so as naturally as possible. This is why we have created a breastfeeding tea which offers a natural and organic option for women wanting to increase milk supply or to help maintain a healthy ongoing supply. This blend has been designed by our naturopath and is based on natural herbs, called galactagogues, which have traditionally been used to support healthy lactation. This product has had amazing results and has helped many women to breastfeed their babies naturally.
