Description
More Milk Plus is Motherlove's best selling herbal lactation formula. A safe and effective galactagogue formula designed to quickly increase breast milk for breastfeeding
mothers. This product does not contain any milk, dairy, soy, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, or gluten.
Ingredients:
- Fenugreek seed - Trigonella foenum-graecum
- Fenugreek is an annual that grows 12-18" high with branched, trifoliate leaves. Fenugreek is in
the legume family as are peanuts and garden peas. It produces "pea pods" that contain yellow-brown seeds. These seeds are
mucilaginous when cooked and smell like maple syrup. Fenugreek is used to flavor imitation maple syrup. Externally, they can be
used as a poultice on wounds and sores. Drinking tea made with the seeds aids digestion, and gargling with the tea relieves a
sore throat. The seeds are also known for increasing breast milk. Fenugreek is a popular spice in East Indian cooking. Not for
use during pregnancy; can reduce blood sugar levels.
- Blessed thistle - Cnicus benedictus
- Blessed Thistle has fuzzy leaves and stems with yellow flowers. It is a "bitter" that aids digestion and works on a congested liver. It increases
breast milk and is an emotional ally to uplift spirits. Not for use during pregnancy.
- Nettle leaf - Urtica dioica
- Nettle has dark green serrated leaves and short hairs that cause burning and blistering when touched. It grows in moist soil usually near streams and
ditches. Even though it may sting when gathered without gloves, it is an excellent spring green in teas and meals, but don't eat it uncooked. It makes a
wonderful substitute for spinach in any dish and an excellent lasagna filling. Nettle is an herb worth using on a regular basis. This spring tonic is
loaded with nutrition and strengthens many body systems. Nettle is a rich source of iron, calcium and folic acid, and supports the kidney and adrenals.
It helps clear up anemia, skin problems, and increases breast milk. A nettle hair rinse stimulates growth and removes dandruff.
- Fennel seed - Foeniculum vulgare
- Fennel is a licorice flavored, feathery, aromatic herb. It grows to be several feet tall with umbels of small, yellow flowers that look very similar
to a dill plant. This digestive herb relieves heartburn, gas, colic, and an upset stomach. The seeds can be chewed to sweeten breath and help a toothache,
and a gargle will relieve a sore throat. Fennel also increases breast milk. To use as a compress, put crushed seeds in hot water for relief of swollen,
tender, nursing breasts.
- Deionized water
- Grain alcohol
All herbs are certified organic.
Suggested Use: Take 1/4 tsp (1 ml) 4 times per day. Women over 175 lbs take 1/2 tsp (2 ml) 3 times per day. May be taken with 1-2 oz.
of liquid. Avoid additional liquids 20 minutes before and after each dose.Not for use during pregnancy.

Motherlove - More Milk Plus Reviews (4) Write Review Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Jessica on Wednesday 18 February, 2009It definetly works. It tastes like liquid evil, okay baybe Nyquil, but it works!! I would reccommend it to anyone who needs a boost in milk supply. I tried fenugreek capsules but couldn't seem to get myself to take them regularly enough. This I keep in my purse and I always have it with me. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Laura on Friday 22 August, 2008 Much to my amazement, this stuff works!! When I returned to work, my milk supply faltered. Despite pumping every 2 hours, I couldn't stimulate more production (but did mess up my work day!) I tried everything that friends suggested, without luck. I was put on Reglan with minimal improvement. Straight fenugreek capsules only made me sweat maple syrup. Then, my LC suggested More Milk Plus. Within a couple of days, I had significantly more supply. Now, I can even freeze some at the end of the day. I realize that it might not work for everyone, but it is definitely worth a try. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Rachel on Monday 30 June, 2008 It absolutely works. About three weeks postpartum, I developed a kidney infection and became dehydrated enough to warrant a trip to the emergency room. I couldn't keep anything in my system for 5 days and my milk supply nearly dried up completely. Determined not to have to put my son on formula, I overnighted a bottle of this. I let my son nurse constantly and within 24 hours of my first dose, I woke in the early morning to discover that I was engorged! I was so relieved. I took it for three days and I had more than enough milk, about a 5 ounce surplus per day. Once I stopped taking it, my milk supply went down, so I didn't have extra, but I had plenty for my son who gained 2.5 pounds that month! Now I'm taking it again to boost up my supply for when I go back to work. The only drawback is that I smelled like maple syrup for a few days. Not a bad smell, but I kept craving pancakes. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Rebecca on Friday 13 June, 2008 This product works great to boost your milk supply. A few months ago I had the stomach flu and was so dehydrated that my milk, more or less, dried up (my son was 5 months old and ill as well). I took this after I recovered and was back up to regular production in just a couple days! It's also great for improving your supply after being away from your baby and having to pump. The only thing is that you HAVE to take the full 4 times a day dose or it won't work. View all 4 reviews |
