It works!
This is my second child and I didn't produce well for the first one so I'd pretty much resigned myself to minimal milk production and the theory that anything was better than nothing. I was pumping at work three times a day and taking home about 9 ounces of milk total (and at that it's more than I'd managed with the first child) when I caught a cold and my production started to dwindle again even though I wasn't taking any drugs. Frustrated but unwilling to wean my baby at only 2 months old I started taking this tea in the hope that it would at least sustain my current level of production. Because it's a little on the expensive side (I was buying it locally at the full retail price) I only drank 3 cups a day. (It recommends 3-5.)
A week later with my cold only just starting to clear up I was taking home almost 12 ounces of milk. Another week and a half later I'm catching another cold (the downside of having 2 kids in daycare...) but I'm taking home a solid 14-15 ounces of milk every day. This tea is the ONLY THING I have done differently -- no other supplements or dietary changes no changes in feeding or pumping schedules -- so I know for sure it's the tea that's doing it!
I don't know where its effectiveness will level out or if my production will continue to stay elevated if I stop drinking the tea but at this point I'm just thrilled with the short term results!More detail ...
