This is from Susun Weed's book Wise Woman Herbal for the Childbearing Year : Benefits of red raspberry leaves include : " Assisting in production of plentiful breast milk. The high mineral content of Raspberry leaf assists in milk production, but it's astringency may counter that for some women. " It is not listed as a galactogogue in any of my references. IMHO, the benefits to the nursing mother are on a nutritive level. Red Raspberry leaf is high in calcium, iron, vit C and vit E. As a nutritive herb it has benefits to the lactating woman but if a galactogogue is what is needed, I would choose a different herb ( fenugreek or blessed thistle ) to combine with the red raspberry leaves.
