What do I need to have for my milk production?

IMPORTANT NOTE!!  Before you take any herbs for increasing milk production, wait to see if you actually have a problem with your production. 

If you take herbs to increase or support your production when you're already producing plenty of breastmilk, you will risk over-production and possibly plugged ducts or mastitis (certainly engorgement, which can be very painful & uncomfortable). 

We also do not advise that you take herbs to increase milk production during pregnancy or during the first 3 days postpartum so that you don't bring the milk in too early.  The colostrum period during the first 3 days postpartum is critical for baby's life-long digestive health, so wait until day 3, when the milk typically comes in, to see if you even have a problem or not.  If not, nothing needs to be done!  If it ain't broke, don't fix it!  If you find that you do indeed have a problem with your production, then the following products will help:

Nursing Tea or Nursing Tincture (scroll past the Goat's Rue entry.  This is a very effective and gentle product to help increase milk production.  Many mothers of twins use this and nothing else and make plenty of breastmilk for both babies.  This product is recommended to try first, especially with newborns, as it is very gentle on baby's tummy while being very effective.  The tincture is the most convenient way of using this product, as nothing needs to be prepared by you.)
Blessed Thistle a very popular herb used to increase milk production.  Many clients find this works when other herbs aren't completely getting the job done.
Goat's Rue (one of the best herbs for increasing breastmilk production.  Best herb for women who have trouble with production right from the start.)
Fenugreek (scroll down past the Fennel entries.  Fenugreek is also one of the best herbs for increasing milk production.  It works very well, but it must be used with consistency for best results.  See info here for detailed info on this herb and how to use it correctly.)

All of these things can be used together if desired.  It may take some experimentation intially to find the right herbs or the right combination of herbs and dosage amounts that work for you.  The only rule is to not stop or decrease Fenugreek suddenly as it could drop your supply.  Don't give up - try something else or try changing your dosage amounts!

What do I use if I'm making too much milk or need to dry up my production (weaning)?
Sage (click here for more info)

Plugged ducts?  Mastitis?
Poke Root will usually knock out mastitis or help alleviate plugged ducts within 24 hours, even severe cases.  Read detailed info here.  (Scroll to Plugged Ducts & Mastitis sections.)

If too much milk is the reason for your plugged ducts or mastitis, you may consider using some Sage along with it to help decrease your milk supply.  If overproduction is a problem for you, do not take any lactation teas or herbs to support or increase your breastmilk production!  This will only make your problem worse.  Don't take lactation herbs unless you need to increase your production. 

If the plugged ducts or mastitis have caused you to lose some of your production, try Nursing Tea or Tincture first, then add some Blessed Thistle, Goat's Rue or Fenugreek if necessary.  More about all of these herbs and how to use them can be found here.

What do I need to have on hand for my baby?

Healing Salve (helps with removal of sticky meconium plus it helps heal diaper rash in record time.  Keep a large jar by your changing table and a small one in your diaper bag.)
Goldenseal Powder (helps heal and dry up the cord stump in days rather than weeks.  Use the powder for this. )
Tummy Tea or Tummy Tincture (mom takes this and it passes to the baby to help with baby's gas, indigestion, colic or reflux.

Economic times are tough.  Consider this:

Herbs are affordable and they work. 

1) Herbs can help to keep you healthy.
This can save you money by helping to avoid lost time at work (or the difficulty of being a sick parent at home trying to take care of little ones) and the costs of getting well.  Save yourself money by keeping yourself healthy!

2)  Baby formula is expensive! 
A month's worth of herbs to increase your breastmilk production is much cheaper than a month's worth of formula, even when purchased from a big box discount store (not to mention that breastmilk is by far much healthier for your baby).  If you have a choice, do your wallet and your baby a favor.
