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
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.
