Studies have suggested that fenugreek, a key ingredient in Mother's Milk, may increase milk production in breastfeeding women, with some mums reporting that a few cups of this tea every day has helped their bodies to make more milk.

While studies have suggested this ingredient promotes healthy lactation, it hasn't been proven.

However, over on TikTok, the general consensus for drinking the tea is positive.

Many breastfeeding mums have taken to the video platform to recommend the tea, sharing how it has increased their milk supply.

The term 'Mother's Milk tea before and after' has thousands of users documenting their enhanced milk production across the app.

Before buying Mother's Milk:

Mother’s Milk tea can be found at many pharmacies and health stores, as well as online.

However, the tea is intended for boosting the milk supply, not for maintaining it.

Once milk levels are sufficient for you and your baby, you don't need to continue consuming it, according to The Bump.

This tea is intended for use when nursing, but it's always best to discuss any supplement products with your healthcare practitioner.

Always check ingredient list if you have any allergies.

If pregnant and breastfeeding, consult your healthcare practitioner before drinking.
