Milk's Up breastfeeding tea is designed to naturally support mothers while nursing. Because whilst this time with your baby is amazing - it can also be really hard. A cup of tea can be a huge support.

Milk's Up is an award winning caffeine-free blend of fennel, nettle, fenugreek seeds, lemon verbena and star anise. These are natural galactagogues which have been used for millennia to support your milk supply, but they also taste delicious.

There's no reason to drink this tea before 37 weeks, as it's benefits in general will take 3-7 days to have an impact. But it is great to start before your baby arrives and also to harvest colostrum so that you have confidence in your supply before your baby arrives.

Have a maximum of 4 cups a day to be within NHS guidelines on herbal tea in pregnancy.

Each pack contains 15 whole leaf, plastic free, biodegradable tea pyramids. They can be used to make 30 cups of tea or more

The benefits of any tea can hopefully build over time - so we recommend having 3 cups a day from 37 weeks and combining with hand expressing colostrum. Then just keep it up - your supply will naturally be higher in the evening/night time, so you can drink it earlier in the day to stay hydrated and support yourself.

1. Use 1 whole leaf tea bag in a 300ml cup
2. Pour freshly boiled water over it
3. Brew for 3-5 minutes, depending on your taste
4. Remove bag from cup, and keep in a small dish (or egg cup!) by your kettle
5. Re-brew your bag, and just leave it in the cup for a little longer
6. Relax and take a moment with your cuppa.

We don’t recommend adding milk, but a drop of honey or lemon can be a good match.
