Hello everybody,
This is my first post - hope it works.
I recently read a lot about the positive effect of peppermint water/gel on prevention of nipple cracks because of its calming and numbing effects and the antibacterial activity which apparently leads to the reduction of irritation and nipple discomfort ( Marsha Walker, Manizheh Sayyah Melli et. al).
I am just wondering about the potential effect on milk supply, as peppermint if orally taken may decrease milk supply.
Appreciate your response. Thank you.
Cheers,
