Inside:Looking for results or a Let There Be Milk Review? This post will show you how I increased my breastmilk supply while using this tincture.
Our Breastfeeding Dilemma
Our Solution
Our Results
I immediately jumped into taking it, there was no time to lose! Initially I followed the directions and took 20 drops. I placed them in a shot glass (classy folks!) and downed it quickly. Whew that was a bit of a surprise. The taste was fine initially but I definitely had to chase it with a glass of water because the aftertaste was a bit bitter. After that first time, I filled the shot glass 1/2 full with water and then placed the 20 drops in and took it that way. It was MUCH better with water. I took it three times a day and it took about 3 days to take effect. Once it did take effect though, it was like the early days of nursing. I was waking up engorged and needing relief, and little peanut was completely satisfied and even better, she started to gain just a tiny bit of weight! That was a win in our corner and I was 100% excited about this.
I was even able to create a stash for our trip to Vegas!
I took Let There Be Milk for several more months and in addition, I also increased my water and did power pumping to enhance the effects of the tincture. I also worked on relaxation techniques to help my body with the stress that I was under from our daughters diagnosis and that dip in my supply. It helped me to build a stash of milk which came in handy when my husband and I went on two separate vacations sans kids that year. Birth Songs Botanicals helped me reach my goal of nothing but mama’s milk for her first year! This was truly a Godsend and worked very well. I highly recommend purchasing some today and please let me know how it is going for you and if you have any questions!

Thanks for writing about this! I have been using fenugreek which I'm not sure is working all that great. Excited to possibly try this out! 🙂
I'm excited to possibly try this. I'm currently bf my 10 month old & pumping for a friend's 3 month old!
Did you take this every day even when your milk was in? Or did you stop once your milk came in?
i took it everyday while my milk was in
I see you took it 3 times a day but how far part did you take them? As in hours.
Hi Vangie!
I took it in the morning around 6 then around lunch at 12-1 and around dinner between 5-6
How do you get it to work? Do I have to wait a while to drink anything after?

I just bought this last week and I would like to know how everyone takes it. It's very strong, I can't take it by itself and just drink something after. I've tried mixing it in juice, but I would like to hear how other people found best to take it. Thanks for the help.
For some reason my comment did not stick. I mix it with a shot of water and slam it
Is it safe to drink while pregnant
No it says right on the bottle not intended for pregnancy.
I have been taking this for about a week and it does not seem to be working. Any thoughts??
I take it with a drink of orange juice. Completely masks the bitterness. So far I’ve been taking it for 2 days and already notice a difference. I have tried everything as well and this is the only thing that has worked. I was separated from my week old baby due to hospitalization and couldn’t have her there with me. Then I was put on antibiotics which also hurt my supply. So I’m playing major catch up at 4 weeks. So far, so good!!
This is awesome to here! I loved how well it worked for me and am glad to hear that it is working for you too!
I just got this today, we’re supposed to be taking 20 drops 1-5 times per day? Is that correct?
I do not have the bottle on me anymore as my kids are now 5 and 8, but I would follow what the bottle says. It doesn’t have the best taste, but with water it’s effective.
Hi I just got it and was wondering how many bottles did u buy cause it said one bottle has about 30 drops that’s not enough for 2 days then ?
Hi! I purchased one bottle to start that was 60mL. Remember that drops and mL are different. The 2 ounce (60 mL) bottle should last about a month. I am going to be a science teacher for a second here and let you know that in one ounce of liquid there are approximately 590 drops. I hope that makes sense. What size bottle did you purchase and I can help you estimate how many days it should last.
Hi Laura, I’ve tried it for a week now and it seems to work well. However, my son is experiencing constipation for two days already, Any thoughts. Do you know any side effects of this?
Glad to hear it’s working for you too!!! I did some quick research and typically the fenugreek can causes green watery poo, it might be something else that you ate that cause the constipation?
Hi!! I’ve had a huge dip in my supply to where I barely get 2ozs when I pump…in the morning!. Does the capsules work the same as the drops? I desperately want to get milk back flowing for her. Right now she’s on formula and I give what little I can get pumped. Amy and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hey! I have only used the drops, so I have no comparison for you. I would think the capsules work similar.
Hi was wondering about how many hours aprat i should be taking the drops.
5-6 was what I did.
