Designed for real life
Our award-winning breastfeeding support tea is designed with new mums in mind. Milk's Up breastfeeding tea is a herbal blend designed to naturally support mothers while nursing. Whilst this time with your baby is amazing - it can also be really hard, and a cup of tea can be a huge support! All of its ingredients are 100% organic and natural - fennel, nettle, fenugreek seeds, lemon verbena and aniseed. These are herbs which have been used for millennia to support lactation, but they also taste delicious.
Fennel and fenugreek have the strongest links to increasing milk supply in research, and fenugreek is also linked to having immunity boosting benefits. We couldn't be prouder of this multi-award winning tea! It won 'Best Maternity Product' - at the 2019 UK Baby Awards, and the 'Best Breastfeeding Support Product', at the 2020 Project Baby Awards.

Taste: deliciously sweet and aromatic
- Fenugreek - linked in small scale studies to increasing the volume of milk supply and the fat content of breast milk in lactating mothers
- Fennel - research has shown that fennel can help to support a healthy milk supply
- Aniseed - used for millennia as a natural support to milk supply. It is also a source of iron, magnesium, potassium and calcium
- Nettle - anecdotal evidence for hundreds of years suggests that nettle can support milk supply, and help to naturally boost your immune system
How many cups should I have a day?
We recommend having up to 3-4 cups a day. Combine this with pumping to establish your milk supply. NHS guidelines recommend a maximum 4 cups of any one herbal tea a day. *The impact of natural herbs will vary person to person.
Why are these herbs used to support my milk flow?
Fenugreek, fennel, aniseed, and even oats, are all galactagogues, which have all been used historically to support breastfeeding. No one 100% knows why, but lab studies link an active component - diosgenin, to help breastfeeding.
