Support Healthy Lactation with a Blend of Tried and True Herbs!
Nursing Blend is a dietary supplement that contains a blend of herbs including fenugreek and fennel seed used for centuries by nursing mothers when a boost in breast milk supply is needed. This comprehensive formula also offers essential vitamins and minerals, to ensure proper nutrition, along with the herbal ingredients to support healthy lactation. 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.
The Importance of Vitamin D
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 health issues. 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. 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.
What’s In Milkies Nursing Blend Supplement?
By providing a unique combination of whole fenugreek seed powder along with a concentrated fenugreek seed extract, Nursing Blend offers an equivalent dose of 2 grams of fenugreek in each daily dose. Nursing Blend also includes herbs to soothe digestion, including chamomile and anise.
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. 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, help ensure that you and your baby are obtaining the nutrition you need.

Mamawama –
First I purchased the nursing blend because the postnatal vitamin was out of Stock. I did not need the fenugreek to increase my supply as my supply was already a high amount but I feel as if the nursing blend containing fenugreek decreased my supply slightly but I did not mind considering my supply was a lot. Once I ran out of the nursing blend the postnatal came back in stock so I purchased it. Right after taking it 2-3 hours later my supply increased fast because I became engorged.
I prefer the postnatal rather than the nursing blend because
-nursing blend serving size is 3
-nursing blend has an unpleasant taste
-nursing blend caused a slight decrease in supply
-postnatal does not have a bad taste
– postnatal increased supply
-postnatal serving size is 2
I give 4 stars for the nursing blend because it contains a lot of vitamins that makes me feel good about what is passing through my milk to my baby

Good postnatal, easy to swallow, no super strong taste. I feel like I can notice a reduction in production if I miss a dose.
I have taken this supplement for prob 4 months now, and saw randomly on the FAQs that it is recommended to spread out the dosage (3 pills) over the course of the day, instead of all at once. I had been taking them all at once. These recommendations should really be on the original packaging!

Nicole Hamilton –
I bought this product because I had stopped taking my other vitamins and my supply dropped drastically (always take your vitamins, I can hear my Drs voice in my head…). I bought this product because it had extra vitamins and minerals as well as Fenugreek. Although I have seen a rise in my production it is still not at the levels it was before. After some research, I discovered Fenugreek can actually hurt production in some women. So once this bottle is done I am going to try their blend that does not have Fenugreek and see if that works better. I would def give this product a try but just be aware of the side effects of Fenugreek.

I’m taking my 5th one and so far I’m satisfied with it! I like that I can consume this one time a day, and its price is reasonable. I’m not really sure about the effect because there are many factors, but my baby is growing well and healthy.
Why I give 4 stars is that I recently ordered the discounted one which is expiring in Nov.2018, and the capsules are smelly. I can even smell it after taking it. (burp smells like this and it’s not so pleasant.) I wish there is nothing wrong with the product, because I ordered more than one bottle.

Very happy to find something good for me and baby that’s also reasonable in price. Wish the smell and flavor wasn’t so awful and that I don’t have to take 3 per serving, but my baby’s worth it.

They don’t have the most pleasant of odor and taking 3 large capsules can be a challenge. I did not start taking the supplement for an increase in supply but I have noticed some increase. I have peace of mind knowing I’m improving the nutritional value of milk for my child.

I’m glad to be getting the extra vitamins. The milk supply increase may be minimal – hardly noticeable BUT I’ve had to pump more now that I can’t take babe to work with me quite as often. Pumping certainly reduces milk supply in comparison to actual nursing. (It’s pretty normal for vitamins, but these are kinda stinky, too).
One thing I’m thankful for is that I don’t always get to eat breakfast right away, but if I don’t take vitamins right away, I forget. I’ve never had any nausea whether taking these with OR without food.
