Our read on it
By a wide margin the cheapest option here, about two riyals a bag. Its practical advantage is that it is a warm drink: sitting with a warm cup helps you relax, and relaxation itself helps let-down. Caffeine free, which matters for a mother whose sleep is broken already. Read the safety note in full, because it contains fenugreek and that comes with real caveats.
Pros
- By far the cheapest of the supply options here
- Caffeine free
- A warm cup helps relaxation and let-down
- Certified organic
Cons
- Fenugreek upsets the stomach in some women and in the baby
- A strong taste that does not suit everyone
- The evidence for herbal galactagogues is limited
Important safety information
Fenugreek carries real caveats: it can lower blood sugar, so anyone with diabetes or on diabetes medication should ask their doctor first. It can trigger a reaction in anyone allergic to legumes or peanuts, since it belongs to the same plant family. It can upset the stomach in the mother or the baby. Do not use it during pregnancy, as it may stimulate the uterus. Ask your doctor before use, and stop at any new symptom in you or the baby.
