Definitely works!
I am currently nursing twin girls and have had quite a few bumps along the way. I guess you could say it was the perfect storm for something to go wrong. Nursing multiples, returning to work full time and having babies that slept through the night wrecked havoc on my body. When they were 3 1/2 months old, I developed a blocked milk duct on one breast, which led to a milk blister. I did all kinds of research online and did everything I was supposed to do: compresses, massaging, extra nursing and pumping, etc. Once the milk blister burst, it ended up leading to mastitis. I was put on an antibiotic for 10 days and missed 3 days of work. At this time, despite my increased pumping and nursing, my milk supply went down. I was barely producing 2 oz from each breast at a single pumping session which led me to tap into my freezer stash. My babies drink three 5 oz bottles at day care - each (total needed: 30 oz - not including what I feed them at home before and after day care). And here I was barely getting 2 oz for each baby, times three pumping sessions (total producing: 12 oz if I was lucky, not including what they got from me when I nursed before and after day care). My coworker told me about the Mother's Milk tea. I didn't realize what I ordered was an entire case, but looking back, it was well worth it.I am not a tea drinker at all. I have always wanted to acquire a taste for tea and tried a million different kinds, made a million different ways. This tea, at first, tasted horrible! Everyone is different, but this is what worked for me. I figured, I don't like my coffee super hot and need to let it cool down, so tea might be the same way. I quickly found out that drinking it cold was far worse than anything I have ever tasted. Because of the taste, I also drank it sparingly. Based on the way I was drinking it in the beginning (or, more appropriately, NOT drinking it) I did not see much for results and almost gave up on nursing all together. I came back to the Amazon site and read more reviews and then decided to try a different approach. Here is what really worked for me: make and drink a cup of tea within the hour prior to nursing or pumping. Take a cup with a lid, or make your own lid using a plate, add the tea bag, then add the water. At home, I use a cup of water heated up from the microwave for about a minute to a minute and a half (depending on how hot the water was from my faucet), at work, I use the hot water spout from our water cooler, cover and let it sit and seep for about 8 - 10 minutes. After the 8 - 10 minutes have passed, I dip the tea bag a few times, then squeeze it out before discarding. Then I add in about a teaspoon of honey. Be sure to use the honey from the teddy bear bottle because it is cooked honey and not honey from a neighbor's back yard....(that's another story about bacteria and what is safe and not safe for babies.) Stir and drink. I drink it rather quickly and used to have to hold my breath when I drank it, but not so much any more. I still drink it quickly, but I don't have to hold my breath. It is much more bearable this way. The taste has actually grown on me and I look forward to drinking that warm cup of tea.Since I have started drinking it more consistently, five times a day, I have noticed my production has most definitely increased! I went from barely 2 oz from each breast to 5 oz and sometimes more, out of each breast. I am now producing what the babies are drinking the next day at day care. I am still hoping to be able to add back to my freezer stash, but that will come in time. I am proud to say that the babies are just over five months at the time of writing this review and are still being fed exclusively on breast milk (no formula) and two meals a day of oatmeal and/or stage 1 baby food. Hope this helps someone. Good luck to all!

works well for milk supply
The flavor isn't my favorite, but I wasn't drinking it to taste good. It was the only thing that I felt actually made an impact on my milk supply. And the flavory isn't BAD, it's just not as enjoyable as some other things, like some of the munchkin products. but those did nothing for me, so it was well worth it to switch to this.

Tastes great & is helpful
Raspberry leaf tea is a soothing choice for menstrual relief, known for easing cramps and discomfort with its natural uterine-toning properties. The flavor is light, slightly earthy, and pleasantly mild. It has a subtle sweetness which pairs well with honey or lemon. Overall, a tasty, comforting herbal tea for women seeking natural period support.

Awesome product
Awesome mild tea to help prepare for birth or to aid with menstrual cramps! Traditional Medicinals has been a leading brand in the health food channel for a long time with amazing products and this herbal tea is yet another one of their hits! I am 38 weeks pregnant and I've been drinking this tea since 36 weeks to help prepare for birth. Midwives have suggested raspberry leaf tea for ages in the preparation of birth, and these tea bags are strong enough to reuse a few times so you don't need to order too many. I reuse my tea bag at least 3 times.

Lactation tea
I’m really happy with this lactation tea! It's helped me increase my milk supply, and I love the soothing, calming flavor. The ingredients seem to be working well for me, and I appreciate that it's all natural. My only reason for not giving it a full 5 stars is that the taste can be a bit bitter at times, and I wish it came in a bigger package so I wouldn't have to reorder as often. Overall, it's a great product that's definitely helped me with breastfeeding, and I'd recommend it to other moms. 4/5 stars!

Unsure if it works
If you're a tea drinker, this feels like a thing worth getting if you're already going to be drinking tea while breastfeeding. It costs as much as other mid quality teas and it has the bonus of being more convenient than loose-leaf teas. But if you aren't a tea person, you might just be wasting money.As someone who likes tea in general, I found this to be just barely palatable (I really do NOT like licorice and you can taste it in there). If you don't like tea, this might be too earthy and the herbs too strong for it to be a casual enjoyable drink. It's not terrible if you sweeten it, but it's not going to be totally neutral either because the flavors really do come through. I also found I had to drink it hot otherwise the herb flavors come through more strong.Hard to say if it's effective. I tracked my pumps obsessively and didn't notice any difference when I was drinking this vs when I wasnt. I generally struggled with supply and the best solution never had anything to do with what I ate or drank. Also, this contains fenugreek, which for some has a NEGATIVE impact on supply.It being decaf is a win for some people who choose not to have caffeine while breastfeeding. It's also a great nighttime tea for that reason... but I really preferred skipping this in the morning in favor of something with caffeine because those sleepless nights with a baby are killer.

Worth it
This my first time buying and trying this tea. The box is a decent size for the price paid. It comes with 32 tea bags which is great. The taste is natural it actually tastes like a black licorice. I love that it’s caffeine free.
