I had a friend with chronic low milk supply. She strictly breastfed, but her milk supply was low enough that she had to start supplementing with formula. Everything was fine with her latch and her breastfeeding schedule. The only problem was low milk supply.

She was told to increase her breastfeeding times by other well meaning mothers, but she was really breastfeeding as often as she could.

Eventually, she started drinking Breastea. And she swears by it.

After starting Breastea, she was eventually able to stop supplementing with formula. So she now really recommends it to others that have low milk supply.

If you find that you have low milk supply or you know someone that has it, you should really look into Breastea. The herbs in the tea help your body to increase breastmilk production. When breastfeeding, you want to make sure you have plenty of breastmilk for baby.

There are many flavors to choose from. Each tea bag makes one gallon of tea. You just steep and drink. Store the container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. After two days, brew yourself another gallon of tea. It's very affordable. You get a ten day supply of regular flavor for $10.95.

My friend continued using this tea for several months, until she eventually stopped breastfeeding. Her reasons for weaning her child was not due to low milk supply anymore. If you have low milk supply, check them out.

I participate in a lot of mom forums simply because I'm a mom. And there are a lot of times that I have to ask questions about situations and there are times I can post an answer.

Something that I see a lot in breastfeeding forums are women wanting to know how to increase low milk supply. For some breastfeeding moms, the solution is as easy as breastfeeding more. For other moms, that doesn't work.

When there is a question of low milk supply, a breastfeeding mom should always consult a doctor to make sure she is not anemic. Also, she should have her thyroid checked. Both of those can decrease a low milk supply.

While breastfeeding, I always continue on my prenatal vitamins. I know that breastfeeding takes more out of your body than its usual state. So I continue on with my vitamins, and I have not had a problem with being anemic.

What worked for me was using an herbal tea called Breastea. With Breastea, I started seeing an increase in my milk supply within the first few days. I continued on drinking it daily and before I knew it, I was making enough milk to feed my baby. I was able to stop supplementing with formula.

If you stop drinking it though, your milk supply will go back down. After your baby starts on solids, this may not be a problem for you. They have several different flavors, but my favorite is the peach - mango. It has a tartness to it that I really like.

If you know of a breastfeeding mom that needs to increase her milk supply, tell her about Breastea. Breastfeeding is a job in itself but it's totally worth it. A breastfeeding mom needs all the support she can get.
