What is your favorite milk enhansing tea? Which one is the best to help aid digestion and relieve gas or colic in babies? Is it safe to drink allot of tea during pregnancy and breastfeeding? Are very many babies allergic to herbs?

I'm afraid I'm no help. I've heard good things about mother's milk tea, but I've never been able to get more than 2 ounces out of each side and that's after 8 hours. The most I get after every three hours or so is an ounce each side. I think I have a physical problem though. :-/

I really like Angel Baby more milk tea. It's yummy and aids in digestion. I was told by a LC that teas are the slowest way of increasing your supply. You are better off with a tincture since it enters your system much more quickly. I have used, and loved, More Milk Plus from Motherlove. They also have a formula for use during pregnancy. I smelled a bit like maple syrup, but hey, beats the alternative.

Alternative?

Have you ever heard of Fenugreek? Its amazing! I was only pumping 2oz also and this natural herb took me from 2 to 4 withing two days! Its completely safe and its a scientifically proven method. The only not so hot side effect it that it leaves your urine and sweat smelling like maple syrup. You have to take about 2-3 capsules three times daily. If you  would like you can also put the capsules in hot water to make tea.

Tried Fenugreek, tried stout, tried pumping and nursing, tried nursing all day (for about 9 days) and only not nursing to use the restroom, eat, and change the DVD in the player (this was with my first child). Tried Mother's milk tea, tried a nursing system, tried reglan, tried domperidone, brewer's yeast, drinking a gallon of water a day. I can't think of anything I haven't tried.
