Accidental Peppermint Tea Ingestion - Breastmilk Decrease!
I ran out of mothers milk tea and thought I'd finish up the pepermint tea I got for nausea while pregnant. So I guzzled bout a liter through the night and the next day my milk production ground to a drip. Now I did not expect that. Google informed me that peppermint tea is drunk to dry up milk supply. Oh dear. Poor Meili is hungry. She's been wanting to nurse every one-two hours instead of 3-4 hours. Also, I had started sleeping on my tummy the past few days. That apparently puts pressure on the boobs and prevents them from filling up with milk. I'm now guzzling heaps of mothers milk tea and putting Meili on as often as she needs and for as long as she likes. Let's see how long it takes for my milk to come back. Here's a rare pic of Meili crying. :)
