Susan and others: Herbs and BF are sometimes contraindicated...The case of
your post...
peppermint leaves, licorice root, eucalyptus leaves, orange peel, roasted
chicory root, dates, wintergreen leaves, star anise, vitamin c, and
lavender flowers
Peppermint is a lactation suppressant
The rest of the list falls into the category of "cleansing" or astringent
herbs and could potentially have negative effects. The cleansing herbs
have a tendency to cause diarrhea in babies and may make them "colicky."
I hope this helps.
Chris
