I am a breastfeeding Momma, and I’m proud of it! However, with both girls, I’ve had production issues and have had to supplement. This time around, I’m currently 9 weeks into breastfeeding Sissa and have been having problems nursing for the past 2 weeks. While I have issues with formula {like the staining it leaves on clothes if the ‘lil one spits up}, I know I must use it because my squirt isn’t getting enough to eat. Until this point, I was so thrilled that I was allowing her body to grow and gain weight. It’s just such a blessing and an experience I’ll never forget. Also, through my own trials, I can help other mothers who may have questions about breastfeeding, and I am happy to offer my point of view.
So, with my milk production issues, I sought ways to stimulate my milk. That’s when I found Earth Mama, and I’m so glad I did. I was sent the Organic Milkmaid Tea made from fennel and was super excited to try it out. Now, I will warn ya, you’ve gotta like licorice; otherwise, you won’t like the tea. Thankfully, I love licorice and made myself some tea! I had to sweeten a cup of the tea with a teaspoon of sugar and drank my first cup within minutes…hey, it was snowin’ outside, and it was a great way to sit and watch the snow with Mini Me!
I filled a coffee mug and brought it to a boil in the microwave {I was too lazy to boil water on the stove!}. I placed one tea bag in the cup for about 5-7 minutes, stirred it up, and placed it in the garbage. I then took a few sips and realized I would need to sweeten it up a bit to drink it. So, I added a teaspoon of sugar and was good to go!
I have used 1/2 the box and have noticed a little difference in my milk production. We have had some reflux issues with Sis and have noticed less of it while using the Earth Mama Organic Milkmaid Tea, which makes me a happy Momma! After about a half hour of drinking the tea, I also feel a sense of calmness. I’m unsure if it’s the tea or because I’m relieved I no longer have a crabby patty on my hands!
Sis also seems a lot more content and not so aggravated. After the first feeding, she was calm and relaxed. Usually, after a nighttime feeding, she “cluster feeds,” and the first night, she seemed satisfied with her feeding.
While browsing Earth Mama for tea to get this review together, I found recipes on their site! Ok, I’m heading into the kitchen to make me another cup 😉
Earth Mama Booby Tubes {RV $19.95/pair}
“Ah, breastfeeding. Something so perfectly natural can be a pain in the breast! Once you get it down, it’ll all be worth it, and in the meantime, Mama made Booby Tubes to help ease the discomforts of your mamariffic mammaries. Booby Tubes are natural, safe, gel-free breast packs made with a 100% organic cotton shell and filled with all-natural flax seed. Use warm or cold, depending on your nursing needs. Store Booby Tubes in the freezer and wear them inside your bra between feedings to help reduce the swelling and tenderness of engorgement and to comfort breasts during weaning. When heated, Booby Tubes safely deliver warm, moist heat to tender breasts to encourage milk flow, maintain open milk ducts to prevent clogged ducts, promote let-downs, and comfort the symptoms of infection or mastitis. Mama’s unique gel-free construction was designed with extra care to help reduce the risk of burns. Warm Booby Tubes in your microwave for 20-40 seconds OR preheat your oven to the lowest setting and place them in an oven-safe dish for 10-15 minutes.“
Now, with breastfeeding, some Mothers experience engorgement issues and clogged ducts. For me, I have experienced clogged ducts in my right breast.
Once my milk came in {about a week post-pardum}, my right breast HURT. Not only did it feel warm to the touch, but, it felt like a lump in my breast. Thankfully, when I was getting fitted for my Bravado bra at Blue Cocoon on Montgomery Road in Cincinnati, OH, the owner, Ashley {who is also a NICU nurse and lactation consultant!} reassured me that it wasn’t anything to worry about. I never experienced this with Mini Me and was afraid it would lead to something worse. The Earth Mama Booby Tubes have been used numerous times. I have even {accidentally!} left the house with them in, and no one said anything!
I’ve concluded that my breast feels better when I warm the Booby Tubes, and this also seems to help with my milk flow, which can be a little overwhelming for Sis when they are full.
