Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2016 Show Well here my experience: i don't like tea at all so I can really say I enjoyed drinking it, but it wasn't bad though, I would make and drink it cold, 3x a day from week 36 until birth (39w +). Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2021 Giving it 4 stars because the 2 boxes I ordered came beat up and the inside was exposed, luckily the tea bags are wrapped and covered and remained that way. At first I was using honey with it, I can't drink unsweetened tea, it tasted ok, I didn't notice any difference in the breast milk supply, in fact my milk supply seemed to be less. I have an 11 month old that still breastfeeds, I pump milk for him for when I'm at work and when I'm home with him I just breast feed. In the previous months I used to have an oversupply of milk, it'll just sprout out and wet all my shirts, even with breast pads on, in the last couple months my supply had decreased, I wanted something to help with milk supply, so I ordered this tea, the price was right. After 3 days of taking it sweetened I didn't notice a difference, well I would usually pump 6-8 ounces from each breast, when I use this tea in the 1st few days my supply went down to like 4-5 ounces from each breast. After the 4th day I decided to take the tea without sugar or honey and it wasn't the best taste but I bared with it. Oh and I take the tea 2-3 times a day sometimes even up to 4 times. I notice my breasts leaking again and becoming engorged, didn't have that for a while, and I pumped about 9-10 ounces from each breast from about the 5th day and I believe it's from this tea. The results are better without sweeteners in my opinion or I just had to wait a few days for it to work. My son drinks 6-8 ounces a day and a lot so I needed something to up my milk supply and I believe this tea helped me, so try it! It may help you to. Who knew that one day you’d be thinking about your milk production — a lot? (Besides us… we definitely get it.) Organic Milkmaid Tea is a fragrant, comforting blend of organic herbs traditionally used to help support healthy breast milk production and promote healthy lactation. Tasty iced or hot, with fenugreek, fennel, milk thistle and other galactagogues (not space travel, which would be cool, but hey … breastfeeding’s pretty cool too) — plus the power of nettle and raspberry leaf. Yes please! Organic Milkmaid Tea is NOT FOR USE DURING PREGNANCY. Many galactagogue herbs are not recommended for use during pregnancy in greater than culinary amounts.*

Do lactation teas really work?Does lactation tea actually live up to its name and produce more milk? Well, the scientific evidence on lactation tea is not entirely clear — more research is definitely needed. There is ample anecdotal evidence from women claiming that they noticed a positive increase in their milk supply while using lactation tea.
Can you drink mothers milk tea everyday?The normal dosage of mother's milk tea is anywhere from three cups to five cups per day. It may seem like a lot of tea, but this amount is what is recommended to boost milk supply.
