Mother's Milk

Breastfeeding asks so much of us.
 
Long feeds.
 
Sore nipples.
 
Thirsty nights.
 
The uncertainty of wondering whether your baby is getting enough milk.
 
The joys, the challenges and the countless hours spent with a tiny baby in your arms.
 
I wanted this blend to feel like a little act of care during those moments.
 
At the heart of Mother's Milk are fennel and fenugreek, two herbs that have been traditionally enjoyed for generations by breastfeeding mothers. They have a long history of use in herbal traditions as supportive herbs during lactation.
 
Alongside them, Nettle and Oat straw bring gentle nourishment, while Chamomile, Lemon balm and Rose provide comfort.
 
Every mother's breastfeeding journey is unique, and herbs are just one small part of that story. While fennel and fenugreek have a long history of traditional use, the strongest support for establishing and maintaining milk supply is frequent, effective milk removal and responsive feeding.
 
Herbs are best thought of as supportive rather than a substitute for addressing latch issues, feeding frequency, or other breastfeeding challenges.
 
If you are experiencing any of these, reaching out for support early can make all the difference. 
 
For me, this blend isn't about increasing milk supply, it's about caring for the mother who is doing the feeding.
 
Please note Fenugreek may not be suitable for everyone, including those with a peanut or legume allergy, diabetes or certain medical conditions. If you're unsure wether it's appropriate for you, seek advice from a healthcare professional.
