Anti-Histimines and breast milk production

Submitted by Pam on Fri, 04/12/2013 - 15:25

Spring is the time of allergies for many, breastfeeding moms included. The common approach is to take an anti-histimine to help alleviate your suffering. You may not know, however, that these antihistimines can also decrease or dry up breastmilk!  These medications are made to dry up secretions and fluids - it will not differentiate between the different body fluids and will commonly decrease breastmilk production.  So keep this in mind if you're thinking of resorting to those anti-histimines!

A helpful and effective alternative is the herb Nettle (also known as Stinging Nettle).  Its fine for use while pregnant or breastfeeding, and is highly nutritious.  Many people swear by this herb to alleviate their allergy symptoms!

Thank you so much for providing the After Birthing Ease Tincture to the public. I recommend it to everyone I meet having a baby, and never want to have another again without having it handy. That's how helpful this is!  I have seriously bought this to gift to my sisters for each of their babies for the last couple years. No one, especially a 2nd, 3rd, 4th time mom, should have to have a baby without your After Birthing Ease Tincture! If your customers think that this praise is a little over the top... It's not!  I'm from a big family. (13 kids)  I'm on kid #3, and I plan to have this tincture by my bed for each and every baby in the future.  Thank you!  E.L. (Mom of 3 - so far!)
