Info and FAQs
If you'd like to order one of my blends, please visit www.AuntieNatals.com
Why and how did you develop these herb blends?
I have struggled with chronic low supply due to Insufficient Glandular Tissue (IGT) through three babies. Along the way I've done a lot of research into how to increase supply. Aside from my personal experience, my knowledge is backed by a growing education in women's herbalism through Heart of Herbs. These galactagogue blends are all made of herbs I've used myself and have been tested by several breastfeeding mothers to help formulate the final combinations and dosages you see here.
Tell me more about the capsules-
These are all certified organic herbs from Mountain Rose Herbs encapsulated in vegan-friendly capsules. I take pains to ensure the highest quality product for you (and by pains I mean I'm up late nights after my children go to bed ;). The blends and capsules are stored in glass and protected from sunlight until you order.
How does dosing work?
The typical dosage is 2 capsules twice a day. Some moms see results with as little as one cap a day and others need 2 three times a day or more. I haven't noted a significant need for a larger dose in women of size as of yet.
The instructions will tell you to consider starting with one cap twice a day. If you are experience a serious supply issue, you might consider going right to 2 twice a day. I recommend against exceeding 8 capsules a day of any of my herb blends unless otherwise noted on the label.
How soon will I see results?
Results have been noted in as little as two days. Most moms see a results within within 3-5 days. As with any supplement, give it 3-4 weeks for maximum results.
CYA Stuff-
I wish I could guarantee results, but I can't. I can only share with you the experience others and myself have had with my products and hope you have similar results. I cannot accept returns or offer refunds for ineffectiveness.
Please consult with an IBCLC or doctor before trying my products. For one, supply issues are not always fixable or entirely fixable with herbs, or for that matter, sometimes supply problems are a matter of simply addressing a latch issue or something along those lines, though herbs can be of great use while building a supply in conjunction with working to correct a poor latch. Of course I want to make a profit, but I'm not in the business of promoting a product to breastfeeding moms when they may not need to spend the money here.
Secondly, these are herbs and generally considered safe and the dosages were carefully calculated, but there is always a potential for side effects including allergic reaction. Please use with caution as nothing is 100% safe for everyone. The most common side effects of these herbs tends to be gas for mom and/or baby, diarrhea in mom and/or baby and upset stomach or increased spitting up. Though they are the most common side effect, they are not necessarily common in that most women have no issue with these herbs. Please discontinue use or lower your dose if you notice side effects in you or your baby.
How soon will I get my herbs?
Please keep in mind that I'm a busy mom of three, as well as a doula. Allow 2-3 days for me to get your order into the mail for you, though I usually have orders on their way by the next day. First class can take up to 5-7 days, Priority is 2 days.
Shipping stuff-
If you need something faster or would like insurance on your package, please shoot me an email after you place your order and I can invoice you for the difference.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes!
All orders to Canada will ship First Class. It seems to be taking up to 2 weeks for some orders to arrive, sometimes longer. Canadian customs can hold any item they see fit for up to two weeks.
All international orders ship First Class. You are responsible for understanding your country's import laws and any potential fees associated with importing goods. Please be aware that your customs may hold your items for a given length of time and may, according to your country's laws, confiscate your order.
If you want faster shipping, contact me, I'll invoice you for the shipping costs.
I don't have Pay Pal, how can I still order?
Sorry about that, this is just the easiest way I could set things up online for the time being. I will accept check or money order (cash also, if you're local). Just shoot me an email and I'll let you know where to mail it. Please understand that I cannot process your order until the check clears in my account. There will be a $30 returned check fee.
I'm local, can I pick my order up directly from you?
Yes! Many women have, in fact. I even offer a $5 discount for those who do and pay cash because you save me on PayPal fees and the time and materials it takes for me to package everything for shipping.
You can also pick up a bottle of Monthly Mender or Milkin' It from Appleton Community Midwives.
