Fenugreek and Fennel are both used to increase breast milk supply. They are nourishing, digestive herbs, beneficial to mother and baby in normal amounts. Saw Palmetto is not recommended in breastfeeding.
In breastfeeding, it is recommended to use a variety of nourishing herbal teas to ensure a balance for both mother and baby.
