Boost Milk Production Naturally with Milky!

The Introduction of Milky! by Tia and Tamera Mowry

Did you know there are foods that can naturally boost your milk production? Enter Tia and Tamera Mowry, the beloved stars of the 1990s hit series “Sister, Sister.” They’ve recently launched a new product line called NEED, which includes their flagship product, Milky!, designed specifically to help mothers boost milk production naturally.

A Natural Solution for Breastfeeding Moms

Launched on June 1, 2022, Milky! is the first product in the NEED line, a 2.5-ounce lactation-enhancing herbal tea supplement. It’s created for moms who choose to breastfeed and prefer all-natural, high-quality products for themselves and their babies. You can find Milky! on the shelves at Motherhood Maternity, A Pea in the Pod, and Destination Maternity.

The Inspiration Behind Milky!

On Style Network’s hit series “Tia & Tamera,” Tamera Mowry-Housley shared her concerns about producing enough breast milk for her son, a challenge her identical twin Tia also faced. Her maternity wellness expert recommended drinking fenugreek herbal tea, a traditional remedy known to boost milk supply.

 

The Science of Supply and Demand

In the early weeks with your baby, frequent breastfeeding is crucial to building a good milk supply. It’s a simple case of supply and demand: the more often your baby feeds, the more milk you produce. Pumping can also help boost your supply since milk removal by either the baby or pumping signals your body to make more.

The Power of Fenugreek

Fenugreek has been scientifically tested and proven to increase breast milk production. Many doctors recommend incorporating fenugreek into a new mom’s diet to see an increased milk supply within just a few days. However, if you’ve ever tried fenugreek tea, you know it’s not the most pleasant taste.

Introducing Milky! – A Delicious Alternative

Milky! offers a tasty and all-natural alternative to fenugreek tea. With flavors of strawberries and ginger and a hint of sweetness, it’s a delicious way to boost milk production naturally. Milky! contains fennel, chamomile, and Rooibos tea, all great for a mom’s well-being. Plus, it includes fenugreek, a rich source of vitamins, iron, minerals, and calcium.

How Milky! Works

Tia and Tamera partnered with a leading food scientist to refine their unique formula into Milky!, a quick and great-tasting alternative to fenugreek tea. When consumed twice daily, Milky! has been shown to increase both the quality and quantity of breast milk.

Signs Your Baby Isn’t Getting Enough Milk

It’s natural to be nervous about breastfeeding and producing enough milk for your little one. Here are some signs to watch for that might indicate your baby isn’t getting enough milk:

• Poor Weight Gain: Newborns typically lose 5% to 7% of their birth weight in the first few days, with some losing up to 10%. However, they should start gaining weight by day five and be back to their birth weight by days 10 to 14. If your baby has lost 10% or more of their birth weight or hasn’t started gaining weight by day five or six, seek medical advice immediately.
• Insufficient Wet or Dirty Diapers: The number of bowel movements and wet diapers is a good indicator of whether your baby is getting enough milk. If you notice fewer wet or dirty diapers, consult your doctor.
• Dehydration: Signs of dehydration include dark-colored urine, a dry mouth, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), lethargy, and reluctance to feed. Seek medical advice quickly if you notice any of these symptoms.
