What are Nature’s Milk
Drops and how can they help me?
Deciding whether to breastfeed your baby is an important decision
as it will dictate your routine once the baby is born and will
affect your child’s health in the future. New mothers want
to give their babies the very best of everything and breast milk
can’t be beaten as a perfect first food for your child.
Modern research has shown that breast milk is the perfect nourishment
for babies as it not only contains all the nutritional requirements
in ideal proportions, but also provides protection from disease
and illness in the form of antibodies from the mother’s own immune
system. Babies who have been breast-fed have been shown
to be healthier and have fewer infections, allergies, general
medical problems and hospital admissions than those who are bottle
(formula) fed. Breast-feeding is also a wonderful way to
bond with and feel close to your new baby!

When there are
Problems Breastfeeding
Nursing your infant does not always come as naturally and easily
as one would hope and many women have difficulties with learning
the art of breast-feeding. Sometimes it is technique that
is a problem and a breast-feeding consultant is usually on hand
at birthing centres to get you on the right track. However,
new mothers often feel that they don’t have enough milk for their
baby’s needs or that the milk is not flowing easily. This
can become a distressing problem, especially when your child is
hungry and suckling with all his/her might to no avail.
Many doctors
prescribe certain varieties of synthetic antidepressants or digestive
medicines to mothers trying to increase the production of milk,
because they have the known side effect of increasing lactation.
While these drugs can be effective, they have not been specifically
formulated to increase lactation, which means that their use for
this purpose has not been scientifically assessed. Besides the
'side effect' of increasing milk production, other side effects
have been documented. It is therefore our opinion that the use
of synthetic drugs, especially during nursing, needs to be carefully
considered and researched before a decision is made - especially
when there are safer alternatives!
Nature’s Milk Drops are a 100% natural remedy containing herbal
ingredients chosen especially for their ability to increase
the production of breast milk and promote healthy flow.
Regular use of Nature’s Milk Drops after delivery will help to get your
breast-feeding routine running smoothly as soon as possible, helping
both you and your baby to enjoy the special health and emotional
benefits that breastfeeding brings!

FAQ’s
How do I know when my baby is getting enough milk?
For a few days after delivery you will produce only small amounts
of a thin watery substance which is known as colostrum.
Colostrum is crucial for your baby’s first meals even though it
may seem to be a small amount. Once your mature milk comes
in (on about the third day after birth), you can expect 4-6 wet disposable diapers (One or two more
if you use cloth diapers.) and 3 or 4 bowel movements in 24 hours.
This will usually show that your baby is getting a perfectly adequate
volume of milk.
Can I fall pregnant while I am breastfeeding?
Even though fertility is decreased and you may not even be menstruating,
there is still a possibility of conceiving while breast-feeding.
For many parents with a brand new little one in the house, falling
pregnant again so soon is unthinkable! For these parents,
it is important to use a reliable method of birth control from
the very first time you resume sexual intercourse.
Of course, if you and your partner feel ready to conceive again
then no form of contraception is necessary.
Can I practice a combination of breast-feeding and formula feeding?
Some women would love to breast-feed exclusively but for some
reason are unable to do this. There are a number of options
for mothers who work or are separated from their infant regularly.
You may be able to express or “pump” milk and store it in a bottle
for later feeding. Otherwise, combination feeding of both
breast milk and formula is also a possibility. Although
your baby will not receive 100% of the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding,
this method still has great advantages over formula feeding only.
If you decide to practise combination feeding during the first
few months, this may decrease milk production as your body will
'notice' that the demand for milk is less. Regular use of
Nature's Birth Drops during this time will help to keep your
milk production up.

My breast hurts. What is wrong and what can I do about it?
Painful breasts can occur amongst breast-feeding moms for one
of several reasons. Mastitis (infection of the breast) will
cause pain, swelling, redness and warmth of the breast and should
be seen to by your health care provider as soon as possible.
Breasts may also become sore and tender when the flow of
milk is blocked and the breast becomes engorged. Sometimes
the breasts may become tender after illness, when you’re under
stress or very busy, or for no apparent reason at all. This often
happens during the early days of breastfeeding while your body
is still establishing how much breastfeeding will be needed. 'Demand
feeding' your baby will help nature to work out how much milk
you need to produce and this, in turn, should settle your milk
supply and relieve fluctuations in milk production.
You can ease painful or tender breasts by expressing milk if they
are engorged and your baby has had enough, having a hot shower,
placing warm compresses on the breasts and massaging the breasts
gently from under the arm to the nipple. Applying a raw cabbage
leaf under a warm cloth to the breast is an 'old wives tale' or
home remedy which also works very well!

What else can help?
-
If you are having trouble breastfeeding, firstly know that
you are not alone. Breast-feeding is a skill to be learnt
and doesn’t come naturally to many women. Problems with
latching your baby, technique and milk volume are extremely
common. A breast-feeding consultant will be able to
help you with difficulties of technique and positioning as
well as provide support, advice and encouragement.
-
If your milk supply seems low, perseverance is also key as
the frequent suckling action of your baby nursing will actually
stimulate your body to produce more milk.
-
Try
to get as much rest as possible by sleeping when your baby
is taking a nap. Make resting your priority and don’t
worry too much about housework at this stage.
-
Paying
attention to your diet and nutrition levels is especially
important if you are breastfeeding. Eat plenty of fresh, nutritious
and raw fruit and vegetables, sufficient good quality protein
and healthy non-processed carbohydrates. Don't forget to drink
at least 8 glasses of preferably filtered or natural spring
water daily. Avoid caffeine, chocolate, excess sugar and alcohol.
-
The investment into getting it right will be worth it in terms
of the future health of your child as well as the opportunity
to create that special, deep bond with your baby.

Nature’s Milk
Drops contain the following proven herbal ingredients:
Galega officinalis is a naturopathic “galactogogue”
which encourages both the beginning of milk production after childbirth
as well as increasing total milk volume. This ingredient is also
good for balancing blood sugar and may therefore also be of particular use to
women with diabetes or insulin resistance.
Silybum marianus (Milk
Thistle) has been used since ancient times
for treating a variety of ailments and is most widely known for
its positive effects on liver functioning and breast-feeding.
Milk Thistle is excellent for promoting the production of breastmilk
in nursing mothers and, due to its liver tonic properties, has
also been shown to reduce the amounts of synthetic substances
from the environment, like pollution and pesticides, in mothers’
milk.
Trigonella foenum-graecum (Fenugreek) is one of
the oldest medicinal herbs and has documented use in Ancient Egyptian
history and Chinese Traditional Medicine. Fenugreek seed has been
used to increase milk production since biblical times as it contains
phytoestrogens, which are natural plant chemicals that mimic female
hormones. Fenugreek has been clinically shown to increase
a nursing mother's milk supply within 24 to 72 hours after first
taking the herb.
Borago officinalis (Borage) is a soothing, anti-inflammatory
herb excellent for women recovering from childbirth. It
also stimulates the flow of breast milk and acts as a digestive
tonic to prevent digestive problems such as constipation.

How have Nature's Milk
Drops helped others?
'I was very worried about whether I would be able to breastfeed
successfully as I have seen how some of my friends with babies
had to give up because their milk just didn’t seem to be enough.
I know they always say to keep trying but I think it just became
too frustrating and traumatic for them to see their babies hungry
and not being able to feed them properly.
I really wanted my son to have all the advantages of breastfeeding
and decided to try your Nature’s Milk product. I was really thrilled
with the results as I seemed to have a good supply of colostrum,
and then milk, from the outset. The relief of being able
to bond with my child in this special way without the anxiety
and difficulties I was expecting was great. Thank you so
much for a natural product that really works!'
Anita P.
'Your Nature’s Milk remedy is fantastic- for the first few
days after giving birth I had very little milk and was beginning
to feel stressed out and desperate. My midwife recommended
your product and within 48 hours my milk flow really took off!
Thanks for such a great range of products that really help women
like me!' Caitlin,
