Increasing and maintaining milk flow

I am nursing my 9 weeks old. I have always had struggle keeping him
happy with just breast milk and unfortunately I had to start him on
formula as well. I would like to give him more of breast milk and am
taking fenugreek everyday. I now intend to take a tea which has fennel
seed, anise seed, chamomile, lavender, fenugreek and nettle leaf. I was
wondering if there is any evidence that any of these could be harmful
to the nursing baby. Could you please advise. I am a bit confused
reading the cautions on these products and my doctor is not
knowledgeable in alternate medicines. Thanks, z.





If you are taking a simple tea it should be just fine.  Consider taking
an Infusion of nettles leaf alone, this is the best herb in the mix you
are taking. You would buy a pound of it, and to make an infusion,
you
would put one ounce of herb in a canning jar and pour boiling water
into the jar, let it sit for four hours and then drink. What you do not
drink, should be refrigerated. Sending love, Justine
