These are homeopathic remedies, not herbs. One would not take the herb orally. Traumeel is a combination of homeopathic remedies. Neither could have any adverse effect on the infant. I recommend arnica to everyone post-partum.

Hello Lactnetters!

This is my first time posting.  I'm a CLE in Los Angeles.  PTP

I have a mom, who is also a friend, who is recovering from a cesarean birth.  
Babe is 3 days old.  Mom reports milk has increased today.  She is taking Arnica 
by mouth 3 x daily to help with heeling of the incision.  She also has traumeel, 
which she may take in place of Arnica.  She has noticed the baby needing to burp 
a lot and quite gassy.

My question to all you wise ones is this:  Has anyone had experience with moms 
taking these particular herbs?  What are the known affects to the baby and 
supply?

Thanks in advance!

Cathy
