The fourth trimester – how traditional plant remedies can help support you and your baby

The superstar plants in our blend are: 

  • Fennel – widely used in traditional herbal remedies to support the supply of breast milk production. The added benefit from fennel is, via your milk, that your baby gets special volatile oils that help relax the digestive tract and reduce wind.  
  • Chamomile – the quintessential new motherhood herb and known to be calming. It helps soothe the after-effects of birth and support mum and baby’s nervous and digestive systems.  
  • Aniseed – a galactagogue which means it supports the normal flow of breast milk. It also helps to reduce baby’s wind, which will help soothe and settle baby’s tummy.  
  • Nettle – another support to milk production and the nutritious quality of breast milk. It contains essential minerals, vitamins and enzymes to help your body strengthen after birth, and to form new blood cells to recover from blood loss.  
  • Raspberry leaf – supports milk production. It also helps strengthen pelvic tissue and supports the recovery of strained pelvic floor muscles.  

Sometimes it is not milk supply that can make breastfeeding difficult but sore, cracked nipples or trouble latching. Midwives and lactation consultants are your go-to experts and will be there to support you with proven techniques.
