To achieve the best results with Bless Thy Boobs, it’s important to use it consistently and for an appropriate length of time. Here is a guideline:

Duration of Use

1. Initial Period:

• Start taking the tincture daily as directed (typically 2–3 times a day) for 1–2 weeks to observe its effects on your milk supply. Some mothers notice improvements within a few days, while others may take up to a week.

2. Continued Use:

• If the tincture is effective, continue using it for 4–6 weeks to establish a steady milk supply.

• Once your milk supply stabilises, you may gradually reduce the dose or stop taking it, monitoring for any changes in milk production.

3. Intermittent Use:

• Some mamas use lactation tinctures intermittently during periods of low supply (e.g., growth spurts, illness, or stress) rather than continuously.

Best Results:

• Combine with Frequent Nursing/Pumping: Herbs work best when combined with regular nursing or pumping to stimulate milk production.

• Stay Hydrated and Nourished: Adequate hydration and a nutrient-rich diet are essential for optimal milk production.

• Follow Dosage Instructions

And remember to contact a Lactation Specialist if you need extra support. If you need help finding one we can connect you to one in your area, just shoot us an email at nourish@mothermoon.co.za

If you don’t see an improvement after 1–2 weeks, consult a lactation consultant or healthcare provider to evaluate other factors affecting your milk supply.

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.
