Should be OK: The traditional medicine doesn't have an official information regarding safety of the dandelion root tea while breastfeeding. Check with naturopathic or alternative medicine doctor.

Yes it is: Per the national libary of medicine database- lactmed- it is generally recognized as safe by the fda. Some believe it is a galactogue (increases breast milk production) but there are no clinical trials to support this.

Possibly: Agree with dr. Poinsett that this herb is generally recognized as safe . . . Yet we have no information that definitely establishes its safety in breastfeeding. Are you looking for safe ways to help you produce breast milk? Mother's milk tea by traditional medicinals may work & be safer. Here's a helpful article describing additional, behavioral steps to take also: http://tinyurl.Com/k6b2gf2.
