Improve Breast Milk Quality and 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.
A comprehensive formula brings together essential vitamins and minerals to ensure proper nutrition and herbal ingredients to support breast milk production. Current research shows that 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. By providing higher levels of Vitamin D, Nursing Blend helps to support healthy teeth and bone development. This is especially important during the first year when an infant is growing quickly. Vitamins B-6 and B-12 support many functions, including the immune system, the nervous system, and 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 a natural, proprietary herbal blend designed to improve and maintain milk production. This blend includes natural galactagogues (ingredients to help milk production) such as fenugreek and fennel seed. Nursing Blend also contains a number of 'calming herbs' such as chamomile and anise to help soothe a fussy baby.
"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."

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.

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

nursing blend success
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.
