I had a recent call from a mom who was told not to take mothers milk tea to
improve her milk supply because it isn't approved for use with premies.  I
had recommended it to help increase her supply.  Now she is afraid to take
it.  The nurse in the NICU told her that she read it on the net.  The mom
is already doing all the other things to increase supply. double pumping
hospital grade pump, hydration.  She has returned to work and has a super
premie in the NICU.  It was a twin birth with the other infant not
surviving, SO this mom is very reluctant to take anything that might cause
harm to her baby.

So the question is have any of you heard that mothers milk tea shouldn't be
used with premies?

Thanks
