I am breastfeeding, but pumping also. My milk supply is lower than he nneds. Has anyone ever used the mother's milk tea or any advice on getting lots of breastmilk???

Yes, I did use it. Wasn't too delicious but I got used to the taste and actually liked it. I really do feel like it helped, although it wasn't a miracle cure.
Some people aren't good pumpers, I never was but when breastfeeding my babies gained weight like mad, but I could never get more than 4 oz pumping - ever.

I have used it and I think that it works great. You can also take FenuGreek (you can get is a any nurtrition store like GNC). They will both help with your milk supply. I had the same problem and I drank Mother's Milk Tea three times a day and took Feugreek twice a day. I also pumped in between feeding. Like if she ate every three hours I would pump an hour and a half after she ate. It is all supply and demand. Hang in there and remember that you are doing the best thing for your baby.

I used that in combination with the fenugreek pills and also pumped inbetween feedings. You need to have a good quality breast pump to be able to pump a good amount out
