What can be done to help ensure Motherlove product effectiveness?
Be sure you are taking the correct amount for your body weight according to the suggested use on the label. These products may be taken with 1-2 oz. of liquid. Although it is important to drink plenty of fluids throughout the day, for maximum effectiveness avoid drinking liquids 15 minutes before or after each dose. Drinking more liquids than specified with each use may dilute the herbs in your system. If after following these guidelines, you do not see an increase, there may be a more appropriate Motherlove formula for you. Foods and medications you may be taking can lower milk supply. These include sage, strong mint such as in Altoids, some over the counter cold and sinus medications and cough drop formulas. Some lactation consultants warn that the anti depressant, Wellbutrin, will lower milk supply, while other antidepressants do not.
