Liquid Herbal Extracts

Breastfeeding is the best choice for you and your baby. Don't abandon the important bonding and health benefits of breastfeeding because of concerns that your baby is not getting enough milk. Motherlove's liquid extracts can help! Motherlove offer several effective herbal combinations to increase breast milk within 24 to 48 hours. These certified organic herbs have been used to increase milk supply in countries around the world for generations. Motherlove tests their liquid extracts for bacteria, lead and heavy metals.

A liquid herbal extract is a solution of alcohol and water that contains the herb's active constituents. The American Academy of Pediatrics says that a small amount of alcohol is compatible with breastfeeding, and that alcohol is out of the breast milk two hours after consuming. If you find the taste disagreeable, put the dosage in a small amount of water.

We also offer alcohol free choices in the More Milk Plus and More Milk Special Blend. The alcohol is slowly steamed away and replaced with vegetable glycerin, a sweet tasting "syrup" derived from coconuts. Our More Milk Plus and Goats Rue in vegetarian capsules are also alcohol free.

Any ingested food has the potential for allergic reaction. Blessed thistle is in the aster family. Fenugreek and goat's rue are in the legume family. Those with allergies to plants in this family may develop a skin rash. Discontinue use if side effects appear.  For more information on ingredients used in Motherlove combinations click here.

Please discuss your milk supply situation with a Lactation Consultant before taking herbs to determine the reasons your milk supply appears to be lower than you want. There may be an underlying problem that needs correction in order to increase the effectiveness of the herbs. (for example - if baby is not latching properly and therefore not draining the breast well, taking herbs will not correct that problem. A skilled Lactation Consultant can help you correct the underlying problem and incorporate the use of herbs to jump start the milk supply.)

The most commonly used combinations to help increase milk supply are:

More Milk Plus (available in liquid tincture and capsule form) - contains: Fenugreek Seed, Blessed Thistle, Nettle Leaf and Fennel Seed

                                                    

and

More Milk Special Blend (available in Liquid Tincture only) - contains:  dried Goat's Rue, Fenugreek Seed, Blessed Thistle leaf, Nettle Leaf, fennel seed.

                                                                

Both More Milk Plus and More Milk Special Blend tinctures are available in an alcohol free formula.
