Doctor-designed Breastfeeding Supplement to Support Quality Milk Production*
Now that you are breastfeeding you need higher levels of certain nutrients to keep both you and your baby healthy. Most prenatal vitamins do not contain enough of these essential nutrients, nor will they have an impact on breast milk production. Nursing Blend was scientifically-designed by doctors and nutritionists to specifically meet the nutritional needs of nursing mothers and their babies and to aid in milk production. In addition, Nursing Blend is endorsed by leading lactation specialist and MD, Dr. Kathleen Marinelli.
This comprehensive formula brings together essential vitamins and minerals to ensure proper nutrition, along with herbal ingredients to support breast milk production. It provides 100% Daily Value of most vitamins and minerals, and extra amounts of vitamins known to be especially important for lactating women, including Vitamin D and the B vitamins.
Current research shows that most women are deficient in Vitamin D, which our skin makes when exposed to sunlight, probably because we are so careful with covering up, avoiding sun or using sunscreen. That means that nursing mothers are deficient, as are their babies. Once believed to be important only for bone and dental health, a rapidly growing body of scientific research now indicates that Vitamin D plays a vital role in preventing a wide range of medical conditions, from diabetes to various forms of cancer. Although the current Daily Value for vitamin D is set at only 400 IU, many experts are concerned that this amount grossly underestimates our need for Vitamin D and are recommending that all people, and especially lactating women, increase their daily intake of this key nutrient. By providing 700% Daily Value of Vitamin D, Nursing Blend helps to increase circulating levels of Vitamin D in nursing women, thereby ensuring that the breast milk produced by these women will have enough Vitamin D to prevent suboptimal Vitamin D status in their growing babies.
Nursing Blend also contains extra amounts of Vitamins B-6 and B-12, which are necessary for the proper function of the immune system and nervous system and in the production of red and white blood cells. Vegetarian and vegan mothers may be especially at risk for deficiencies vitamin of B-12 because it is naturally found only in animal products. Folic acid continues to be important during nursing to aid in healthy cell production. Nursing Blend also contains zinc to help support a healthy immune system and ensure optimal growth and development.
These nutrients, along with other key vitamins and minerals in Nursing Blend, ensure that you and your baby are obtaining the nutrition you need.
In addition to vitamin and mineral support, Nursing Blend contains fenugreek and fennel seed, which are natural galactagogues that have been used for centuries by nursing mothers to help stimulate milk production. Nursing Blend also includes herbs that provide calming effects for mom and baby, including chamomile and anise.
"Nursing Blend was designed to meet the unique nutritional requirements for breastfeeding women and I would recommend it as the daily vitamin supplement to all nursing moms." - Dr. Kathleen Marinelli, MD, IBCLC, FABM, FAAP

Answer:
Unfortunately, we're unable to divulge the amount of Fenugreek Seed and Fennel Seed as it's a proprietary blend. Many women have switched from taking Fenugreek and a preantal to Nursing Blend and have been happy with their milk supply. It is, however, perfectly safe to add in additional Fenugreek if you would like. We'd recommend you discontinue your current prenatal vitamin, however.By Jennifer from Palm Springs, California on October 12, 2011

very satisfied!
By Morgan from Iowa on January 9, 2012
A bit pricey product, but i could see a very big change in my breastmilk - it was much better quality! i would say i got more milk, too. it helped me when milk supply droped when my daughter was 5 month. I wanted to breastfeed longer and bought Nursing Blend with a hope that it will help me to do that. My little one is almost 7 month and I am still breastfeeding!Pros:
It works!Increases milk quality
Cons:
I smell like maple syrup :)Expensive
I would recommend this item to a friend.
Great product
By Theresa from NY on December 27, 2011
I work at a pediatric office as a PNP, since i have tried this myself and like it I will suggest this to patients. I usually don't promote products to my patients but I realy like this one. It helps with my milk ( I had a problem with decreased milk production) and I feel more confident that my son as well as myself are getting all my needed vitamins. I would recommend this item to a friend.
LOVE THEM
By Jewels from Camden, SC on December 20, 2011
I struggle with quantity and with energy...I can really tell a difference in both while taking these vitamins . I was frustrated and preparing to quit breastfeeding at 3 months...now almost 5 months. Thanks!Pros:
It works! ...NATURALLY!Cons:
Needs more calcium and added Lecithin(helps prevent and tx mastitis naturally-also body turns it into Choline ...good for brain)I would recommend this item to a friend.
Amazing product!
By Melissa from Minnesota on December 4, 2011
Absolutely love this product. I wish I had realized that Fairhaven had this product when we had our first child three years ago. We now have a second child that is five weeks old, and I have milk for her!!!!! I didn't produce much milk at all with our first child and had to supplement with formula every day, which caused tummy issued with our son to be worse (i.e. constipation, acid reflux, etc.). Now, with the Nursing Blend, not only do I have enough milk to give to our daughter, I have extra that I am pumping and storing for her when I'm gone and go back to work. It's a great product, and I know it works. The proof is in the milk!!!!!Pros:
Easy-to-take vitamin that doesn't have an aftertaste and is only two pills to take. Product works.I would recommend this item to a friend.
Did not see a change
By Tedo from FL on December 2, 2011
After 1 week no change in the volume of milkNURSING BLEND IS JUST WHAT I NEED!
By Jaime from Hawaii on October 31, 2011
I came across nursing blend during an online search to increase the quality and quantity of my milk. I was more concerned of the quality of my milk because some days, I wouldn't have time to eat when I should and was afraid that my son wouldn't get the full benefits of vitamins and minerals that I would lack in my missed meals. On top of that, I was suffering from low milk supply but was pretty much on a regimen to keep it up and already happy with the supplements I was taking to do so. But I needed the vitamins to benefit my baby on a day to day basis and I would have never been able to do that without NURSING BLEND :) Its a plus that Nursing Blend has herbs to increase my milk supply even more as well. I'm honestly not to sure though if it does anything as to increase my milk supply as I am already taking a whole bunch of supplements, but it sure doesn't hurt my milk supply so I take it as IT WORKS!! I no longer supplement feed my 4 month old son for the time being and hope that I could keep it that way. Thanks to Nursing Blend I am confident that I am providing my son with the highest nutritious breast milk as possible.Pros:
Provides quality breast milk for my son and helps with milk supply.Cons:
The vitamin taste when I burp and the smell is not so pleasant.I would recommend this item to a friend.
Nursing bliss
By DCT from Ottawa, Ontario on October 27, 2011
I really liked the fact that I only had to take one pill a day. I was low on iron and had to have a blood transfusion and to keep my iron at the right level, I had to take an iron supplement. I decided to take the Nursing Blend as the supplement as it also provided other benefits. I find that the pills help keep me in better health especially when breastfeeding, it also kept my energy levels at a reasonable level especially since I have to breasfeed a lot at night, my baby being in his 9 months soon. I also had no problem breastfeeding and have a very healthy chubby little boy. I would recommend this pill.I would recommend this item to a friend.
Nursing Blend
By amanda prosser from Manchester, Tn on October 25, 2011
I didn't see any changes in breast milk after a whole bottle. Also it made me bloated and gassy the whole time. I had to discontinue it.Cons:
Made me bloated and gassy every day while taking it.fantastic product
By patricia from ireland on October 11, 2011
i love these supplements, my daughter is 8mths old and still feeding exclusively from me, my milk dried up completely at 6mths with my little boy, despite pumping nursing and everything under the sun. I use this and the nursing tea and put my continued success down to these. I dont impress easily or recommend often, but i do recommend these without qualms. Ps i import these into ireland from the us, so have to go to some trouble to get them but service is excellent. One supplement does all and my dietican/nutritionist thinks they are great too.I would recommend this item to a friend.
Awesome Product!
By Chianta Sheffield-Grant from Miami, Florida on October 5, 2011
This product is the best thing on the market that I have tried that actually increased my supply. I have tried (chayote, fenugreek, oatmeal, more milk plus, mother's milk tea, malta, dark beer, even acupuncture). This has been the only product that I have taken that actually produced more milk. I went from producing (70 ml/ 2oz) for the whole day to (140 plus ml/ 4 plus oz) per day. This may not seem like much to many but for me it is a big deal. My son is a micro preeme born at 23 weeks 1lb 7oz. he has been in the NICU for almost four months (10/9/11) will be exactally 4months. He has not been able to breastfeed yet, so I have to rely on breast pumps to express my milk. With this supplement and him going to the breast soon I am sure I will produce more. I have shared this info with other NICU mommies who attend our weekly breastfeeding meetings. Pros:
- everythingCons:
- need larger bottlesI would recommend this item to a friend.
i love this product, best i've tried so far!
By Krystal L from Barrow, Alaska on July 30, 2011
i was given these supplements by another breastfeeding mother in my town and i just started taking them today, and must i say it works great! my milk supply was at a boost within half hour. i was one happy mommy! before it was hard for me to even have enough milk for my 6 month old baby boy, i had to consult to formula, which i did not like at all, but stopped the formula. i am so glad i have found these supplementsPros:
-they work good and fast.-gives me peace at mind knowing my son will not get hungry.
Cons:
-the taste is gross.-only one size bottle, no bulk size.
I would recommend this item to a friend.
Great stuff
By Emily from Florida on May 11, 2011
I've been taking this for 5 days now and love it. I was taking Mothers Milk and couldn't tell a difference. I will use this my entire time while breastfeeding.Pros:
Produces more milkCons:
Taste of vitaminI would recommend this item to a friend.
Really works
By Dawn from New Jersey on February 12, 2011
Breastfeeding my 14 month old I still have a ton of milk. I take this for the nutrition but full milk supply is added bonus.I would recommend this item to a friend.
The only nursing vitamin I've found
By Jenn G from Long Island, NY on December 12, 2010
This is a pretty good nursing vitamin (and the only one I've ever seen). I was very excited to find that it had fenugreek, as many people had told me it was good for milk supply. Apparently, it wasn't enough for a mother nursing twins; I have to take additional fenugreek supplements to keep a good enough supply to nurse exclusively. It's still better than taking a prenatal vitamin, which is what most doctors recommend.I would recommend this item to a friend.
Good vitamin
By MC from Orlando on November 7, 2010
I like this vitamin. It doesn't upset my stomach and I feel more energetic.Pros:
Lots of vitamin D as well as the herbs for supporting breastfeeding.Cons:
Taste funny.I would recommend this item to a friend.
Not sure
By Joy from Smyrna, Delaware on October 11, 2010
It kind of worked for me. I think I was just running out of milk and with the stress from my job it didn't seem to give me much milk. When I wasn't taking it I would pump 1 oz on my work shift, but with it I did get 3 oz. Taking it wasn't bad, it just made me dizzy some afternoons and my urine always looked like mountain dew. Pros:
It was easy to take and only two pills a day.Cons:
the side affects for meI would recommend this item to a friend.
great vitamins!
By christina from california on September 27, 2010
loved these vitamins. i was looking for something that would give me more energy since i am omitting coffee from my diet. i almost bought b12 vitamins until i saw these vitamins had a high amount of b12(more than normal prenatal vitamins) and in the beginning they really gave me the boost that i needed but after a couple of months i think my body got used to them and the boost that i previously felt had faded however i would still take them for the other great qualities that they obtain that you just cant get else where , def. think they helped with the quality and flow! :) but i did find the best way to really increase your flow is nursing your baby, i got used to pumping since i had to work so i think mainly just pumping didnt help with the flow but when i nursed my son i noticed the flow come back some, but if your body wants to ween naturally it will do so no matter what you do, i managed to make it 8 months though.I would recommend this item to a friend.
A must have item for all nursing moms
By Leanh from San Diego , California on July 1, 2010
I wish I had found this product with my first child. She had sensitivity to the cows protein, so formula was not an alternative. There was always a constant pressure to keep up my milk production. This product made a significant improvement in my milk oroducion not to mention the added value of the vitamins. I have tried the fennel Greek separately in an effort to increase milk production. I found it ineffective as the side affect of the headache and the maple scent was too much for me. This product has a unique blend that has the perfect balance of rich nutrients and steady rich milk production. I usually don't feel out survey, but this product is awesome that I feel compel to share this with all moms. LL
Pros:
Excellent !!Cons:
I wish there was a bigger size with with larger quantityI would recommend this item to a friend.
Your Products Have Been Terrific
By Karen from Crawfordville, GA on June 17, 2010
I am a 41 year old mother of a 20 year old, 16 year old and a 3 month old. We tried for over 2 years to conceive. Following my second miscarriage I started taking fertile aid. I noticed a huge difference in my energy level and started losing weight during the first week of taking the fertile aid. And for the first time had regular menstrual cycles. Within 3 months I was pregnant. During my pregnancy I took your prenatal and DHA formula's. They were great - typical prenatal vitamins make me sick, but I had no ill effects from yours. I only gained 10 pounds during my pregnancy and gave birth in March 2010 to a healthy beautiful 8lb 8oz baby girl. I ordered your Nursing Blend and have been using it with great success. Baby Girl is now 3 months old and 16 lbs. I have recommend your products to several friends. One of them was using the fertile aid following a tubal reversal and ectopic pregnancy and is now pregnant with twins due in december.
I really wish you had an every day formula for all women (ones not trying to concieve)- I loved the way I felt while I was taking the fertile aid - for the first time in years I really felt my hormones were in balance.
Thank you for a great product
I would recommend this item to a friend.
Momma who almost had to stop breastfeeding
By Dawn Baker on August 22, 2009
My son was born weighing 9lbs 14 oz. Within the first couple days he had lost down to 9lbs 4 oz and proceeded to stay there for 2 weeks+. I was desperate to keep breastfeeding instead of just resorting to formula. We have supplemented him with 2 bottles of Soy formula but am taking him off of that as of today. The Dr told me that he had gained plenty and that I actually need to back him off of eating so much.If it weren't for La Leche and the NURSING BLEND breastfeeding vitamins I am sure that my milk supply would have dried up by now and I would have to have a formula baby. I am so grateful for these vitamins and the quality and quantity of milk that I am now producing.
If you are having any concerns about your breastmilk having the proper nutrients and quality that your baby needs please try this supplement!!! It's well worth the money!!! This is coming from a single mother of 5 currently on FMLA and little income. This is just like my utility bills...something I know I have to get!!!
i like it
By viv on July 22, 2009

By Laurie T. on April 29, 2009
I originally purchased nursing blend because I wanted a vitamin that was specific to nursing women, with extra vitamin d, B, etc. I am pleased to report that it has other benefits, too, in the form of increased milk production. WOW!!! I'm happy about it, and I'm pretty sure my baby is a fan.Nursing Blend - Breastfeeding Supplement
