Didn't work for me but worth a shot
This did nothing for me, as far as I could tell... and I was drinking 5 bags a day. But on the plus side, the flavor wasn't too bad - I wouldn't pick it over one of my favorite teas just for drinking, but with a little turbinado sugar and milk, it was quite tolerable - unlike some medicinal teas I've had! I am not a fan of licorace and feared this would be nasty to drink but it wasn't bad. Worth a shot - great if it works for you, but if it doesn't, there are other things to try. (Motherlove tintures seemed to boost my supply very well when this tea and fenugreek capsules didn't work)

For all lactating, working or stressed out moms, this is a must!
This is a terrific, natural way to keep up your supply when stress or other factors are suppressing it. The tea tastes reasonably good and one cup a night is all you need!

working mother's must-have
This tea really works! I went back to work when my baby was 12 weeks old. I started drinking this tea and was able to produce more milk by pumping than my baby was drinking during the day! Don't drink it too close to bedtime, though, or you'll wake up in the middle of the night engorged!

It works!
This is my second child, and I didn't produce well for the first one, so I'd pretty much resigned myself to minimal milk production and the theory that anything was better than nothing. I was pumping at work three times a day and taking home about 9 ounces of milk total (and at that, it's more than I'd managed with the first child) when I caught a cold, and my production started to dwindle again, even though I wasn't taking any drugs. Frustrated but unwilling to wean my baby at only 2 months old, I started taking this tea in the hope that it would at least sustain my current level of production. Because it's a little on the expensive side (I was buying it locally at the full retail price) I only drank 3 cups a day. (It recommends 3-5.)

A week later, with my cold only just starting to clear up, I was taking home almost 12 ounces of milk. Another week and a half later, I'm catching another cold (the downside of having 2 kids in daycare...) but I'm taking home a solid 14-15 ounces of milk every day. This tea is the ONLY THING I have done differently -- no other supplements or dietary changes, no changes in feeding or pumping schedules -- so I know for sure it's the tea that's doing it!

I don't know where its effectiveness will level out, or if my production will continue to stay elevated if I stop drinking the tea, but at this point, I'm just thrilled with the short term results!

Lifesaver
I have struggled with low milk supply since day one, but have been determined to breastfeed for at least 6 months. The first three months, this is all I used and had great results. By no means was I overflowing, but producting enough that I only had to supplement with 1 or 2 oz of formula. Now I alternate this with fenugreek and blessed thistle (body will get used to one product or another and supply drops). Although it is a little pricey, it is far cheaper than formula! Some people complain about the taste, but I have found a little honey goes a long way in helping with that! I am at month 7 and still nursing!
