• Use as needed during low-supply times like growth spurts, stress, or illness.

Support Your Supply:

• Nurse or pump often to encourage milk flow

• Stay well-hydrated and nourished

• Follow the recommended dosage

Q: Why do you not use fenugreek?

A: While fenugreek is often used in breastfeeding teas to boost milk production, it can have side effects. Fenugreek may worsen hypothyroidism, cause digestive discomfort (like gas or diarrhea), lower blood sugar, and trigger allergies in some women. Its strong lactation effects can also lead to fussiness and digestive issues in babies. Instead, we use other milk-boosting herbs without these risks.

Q: I feel I could use some more support; can this be taken with other Mother Moon products?

A: Yes, all Mother Moon products are safe to take together. They should be taken 30 minutes before meals with as little water as possible for best results.

Q: Will Bless Thy Boobs help mama’s who exclusively pump too?

A: Mamas who exclusively pump should make sure they are feeding themselves well and are on a pumping schedule that promotes let downs. However, this may not be enough for some, so Bless Thy Boobs is a perfect supplement for pumping mamas!

Q: How do I take this? Can I mix this with juice or a smoothie?

A: All of our tinctures can be taken sublingually (under the tongue), orally, or in juice, water, smoothies etc.

Q: What about the alcohol content and breastfeeding?

A: Some moms choose to abstain from all alcohol while nursing, but I like to remind people that a dose of a tincture has about as much alcohol in it as a ripe banana.  Use your intuition and decide what feels right for you and your baby.
