This bundle is for new mothers who are breastfeeding and has been curated to ensure they receive optimal support during this phase. The Nursing Tea, with its select herbs such as raspberry leaf and fenugreek, not only bolsters breast milk production but also supports postpartum recovery and provides nourishment to both mother and baby. Paired with the relaxing effect of the New Mother's Bath Salts, mothers can unwind and heal, while the Stretch Mark & Scar Oil ensures skin remains supple and scars diminish. Together, these essentials help boost lactation, revitalise the body, and rejuvenate the skin, supporting mothers in their postnatal journey.
- Nursing Tea: Enhances lactation, strengthens uterine and pelvic muscles to support recovery, and offers relaxation, all while nourishing both mother and child.
- New Mother's Bath Salts: Creates a therapeutic bath experience, alleviating postpartum stress and body aches.
- Stretch Mark & Scar Oil: Deeply moisturises and relaxes, helping reduce the formation of stretch marks and scars.
We understand the unique challenges that come with breastfeeding and the recovery after childbirth. Here's a recommended regimen to make the most of this bundle:
-
Nursing Tea: Infuse one heaped teaspoon of loose herbs in a cup of boiling water. Let it steep for 5 minutes, strain, and enjoy. Drink two to three cups daily for the best results.
-
New Mother's Bath Salts: Add a generous handful of these therapeutic salts to your bath. Let it infuse before settling in for a relaxing soak. Use the muslin bag provided for a tidy experience.
-
Stretch Mark & Scar Oil: Apply generously to affected areas daily. Gently massage in a circular motion, allowing the skin to absorb the nourishing ingredients.
To augment the effectiveness of our Breastfeeding Essentials bundle:
Stay hydrated: Breastfeeding can be dehydrating. Ensure you're drinking at least 2-3 litres of water a day to support milk production and maintain hydration levels.
Eat lactation-boosting foods: Foods like oats, fenugreek, barley, and sesame seeds can potentially increase milk supply. Additionally, consuming a balanced diet with whole grains, healthy fats, and lots of fruits and vegetables ensures you're getting the necessary nutrients to pass onto your baby and maintain your energy levels. Avoid spicy foods.
Limit caffeine and alcohol: Both can be transferred to the baby through breast milk. While an occasional cup of coffee or glass of wine is generally considered safe, moderation is key, and it's essential to consult with your healthcare provider.
Positioning and latch: Ensure your baby has a good latch, and you're using various nursing positions to reduce the risk of sore nipples and ensure the baby is emptying the breasts effectively.
Wear comfortable clothing: Invest in supportive nursing bras and tops, making sure they're not too tight, which can lead to blocked milk ducts or other issues.
Get ample rest: Sleep when the baby sleeps to recover your energy.
Practise gentle exercises, like postnatal yoga, to help with recovery and relaxation.
Avoid stress: High-stress levels can impact milk production. Engage in calming activities like gentle walks, reading or meditating to reduce stress. Consider joining a new mothers' group for community support.
Mind your medications: Always consult a healthcare practitioner before taking any medication, as some can affect your breast milk and its transfer to the baby.
Listen to your body: If you're feeling overly fatigued, experiencing pain, or sensing that something's not right, seek advice and support.
Consult a lactation / breastfeeding specialist, a medical herbalist or another healthcare practitioner if you experience pain or discomfort associated with breastfeeding.
