Description
Weleda Nursing Tea Bags Mum is an organic herbal tea blend made for breastfeeding mothers, naturally caffeine-free and built around fennel and lemon verbena. Each box contains 20 tea bags.
What Weleda says it does
Weleda's own claim is carefully worded: this tea supports a harmonious nursing relationship for breastfeeding mums. It's not positioned as a milk-supply supplement with a specific, guaranteed effect, and it's worth reading it in that spirit, as a gentle, traditional herbal tea rather than a clinical product.
What's in the blend
The ingredients are organically grown and kept simple:
- Fennel fruits (20%) and lemon verbena leaves (15%), the two named flavour notes on the box
- Fenugreek seeds, anise fruits and caraway fruits, rounding out the traditional nursing tea blend
There's no caffeine in the mix, which matters if you're consciously limiting caffeine while breastfeeding.
How to prepare it
Use one tea bag per cup, and pour over freshly boiled water, around 200ml. Leave to brew for 5 minutes to let the herbs release their full flavour. Weleda recommends three cups a day throughout the nursing period, brewed as part of a regular daily habit rather than an occasional cup.
A note on herbal teas and breastfeeding
Herbal ingredients like fenugreek and anise are traditional choices for nursing teas, but if you have any health conditions, are taking medication, or simply want reassurance, it's worth checking with your GP, midwife or lactation consultant before making this a daily habit. This is general guidance worth following for any herbal tea during breastfeeding, not a concern specific to this blend.
How it fits into your day
A warm cup of tea is also just a small, deliberate pause in a day that doesn't always allow for many of them. Whatever the tea itself does or doesn't do, the ritual of sitting down for a few minutes during nursing is worth something on its own. If you're building out the rest of your nursing routine, the Weleda Nipple Balm Mum is a companion product worth knowing about.
