Is mother's milk tea helpful in stimulating milk supply?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Teas containing milk thistle or fenugreek can help, make sure you're drinking plenty of other liquids as well.

Yes: Mother's milk tea contins an herb called fenugreek. Fenugreek is helpful but you've got to drink lots of tea. Better yet, take fenugreek capsuls 2 caps 4 times per day till your milk supply improves. Frequent breast stimulation by putting your baby to breast or pumping at the same time helps too.
