How does the Nursing Tea Blend help?
Giving life and holding our fragile little baby that has been protected and nurtured in our body for 9 months is undeniably one of the most wonderful experiences in our lives. It is natural to feel the desire to provide everything and give the best of everything to them.
We created UKKO Nursing Tea Blend so that your little baby can receive sufficient and high-quality breast milk from the very first day of life, while you can also stay strong and healthy.
More than a cup of milky tea
There are many kinds of lactation tea available, most of which contain cumin, fennel, and anise, and are excellent for increasing milk supply. That's why we didn't want to create just another lactation tea, but a tea blend with a complex effect and ingredient content, which not only helps with milk production, but also supports the well-being and strengthening of both the mother and the baby, alleviates the baby's (natural) colic, aids in blood formation, and has a positive effect on the overall condition of both of your bodies.
But why is this comprehensive support so important?
On one hand, the combination of pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding puts a significant strain on a mother's body, depleting her reserves. Therefore, it is important to replenish vital nutrients that the body cannot produce on its own but are essential for both the baby and the mother. On the other hand, childbirth results in significant blood loss which can lead to iron deficiency. Hence, it is beneficial to support the body in blood production and iron supplementation. Additionally, breast milk not only aids in building the baby's immune system but also plays a crucial role in the development of their digestive system and helps in their digestion process. Therefore, support in this direction is very useful in reducing colic.
Let's go through the beneficial effects of tea:
Helps with milk production
Thanks to the aniseed content of Nursing Tea, it helps to initiate lactation, stimulates the production of breast milk, and later on, it supports the production of the right amount and quality of breast milk. Along with fluid intake (one and a half liters per day is the recommended amount), it also contributes to the production of the necessary amount of breast milk.
Drinking tea provides the initial boost and necessary support for milk production. However, it is important to note that milk ejection is primarily triggered by breastfeeding itself, as the baby's sucking stimulates the release with a suction effect that is difficult to replicate with tools or other means. Moreover, if there is insufficient milk in the breast, the body can produce extra milk even while breastfeeding. Therefore, it is essential to nurse your baby on the breast (preferably on both) at every feeding, even though it may sometimes require a great deal of patience.
Calms the baby
The active ingredients of tea, when passed into breast milk, soothe the baby and have an antispasmodic effect. This is a very useful property, as digestion processes start with sucking (similar to chewing in adults), which can cause cramps in a tiny baby.
In addition, a calm baby can breastfeed more easily, take in more breast milk, resulting in more sleep for the baby and more rest for the mother, allowing time for milk production and recovery for the next breastfeeding session. Not to mention, a calm baby doesn't gulp as much, so they don't swallow as much air, which prevents the development of gas pains caused by air bubbles.
Relieves stomach pain
Since our tea blend is based on the synergistic effect of herbs, there was no need to include 'classic' lactating herbs such as fennel, which can cause colic in many babies. In fact, with our tea, you can introduce substances into your baby's system through breast milk that excellently soothe infantile colic, support the production of digestive enzymes, and contribute to the development of a healthy bacterial flora.
That is, drinking tea improves babies' digestion efficiency, reduces bloating, intestinal cramps, and thus the chance of tummy aches.
This is necessary because the digestive system of newborn babies is still underdeveloped and not fully formed, so the processing of breast milk is initially only partial. This can lead to fermentation processes that result in gas formation, leading to bloating, colic, and abdominal pain in babies. Some babies are more prone to this, some less, but it is good to introduce antispasmodic substances and support the functioning of digestive enzymes. Compounds found in dill and anise seeds, for example, can help with these.
Rubbing effect
Regular consumption of UKKO Breastfeeding Tea ensures continuous supply of vital minerals to the mother's body, so that the body burdened by breastfeeding does not deplete, allowing you to stay strong, healthy, and active while breastfeeding.
We are designed such that from the moment our child is a fetus until the last day of breastfeeding, they receive the best from our bodies, no matter the cost. From the moment you conceive, your body serves the growing baby within you until the period of breastfeeding ends. Meanwhile, if necessary, your body utilizes all possible resources for the optimal nourishment of the baby, whether through umbilical cord feeding or breastfeeding.
Breast milk is an incredibly complex nutrient, with its exact composition believed to change with each breastfeeding session according to the baby's needs. What is certain is that breast milk is full of minerals, trace elements, and vitamins, which are naturally drawn from the mother's reserves.
The lack of these substances without replacement can cause a variety of unwanted problems, such as fatigue and resulting irritability, brittle hair and nails, hair loss, anemia, iron deficiency, bursting blood vessels, rapid deterioration of teeth, etc.
Therefore, it is important to replenish and supplement your depleted stocks of minerals, vitamins, and trace elements, which are necessary to keep both of your bodies strong and healthy.
