Today we have a giveaway from Fairhaven Health. Read on for details on this opportunity and an interview with the company including information on their newest product, Nursing Time Tea. Suzanne from Fairhaven Health was happy to answer my questions about the company and shared some great recommendations for building supply. Fairhaven has chosen to sponsor TLB because of their commitment to healthy families.
TLB: How does Fairhaven Health support and encourage families as a company?
Suzanne: At Fairhaven Health, we specialize in products for fertility, pregnancy and nursing, which, naturally, gives us the opportunity to talk every day with women and men as they take their first steps towards becoming parents, and also as they begin their parenting journey. Such an exciting and rewarding journey it is, but, for some of our customers, this path is filled with many disappointments and frustrations. We pride ourselves on being a source of credible information on all things related to reproductive health, and for having soft listening ears for our customers as they share their ups and downs with us.
TLB: How is the Nursing Time Tea different from Nursing Blend and who would benefit from enjoying a cup?
Suzanne: Nursing Time Tea is a comforting and refreshing loose-leaf tea that blends natural galactogogues (such as fennel seed, goat’s rue and blessed thistle) to stimulate breast milk production, with anise and lemon verbena for flavor and to help reduce gas and indigestion. Nursing Time Tea can be enjoyed iced or hot, and is a great way for nursing moms to stay hydrated and build their milk supply. Our dietary supplement called Nursing Blend also contains herbal galactogogues, but also includes full vitamin and mineral support. We feel that vitamin and mineral supplementation is important for nursing moms, so we recommend Nursing Blend both for its multivitamin/mineral support as well as for the breast milk stimulating herbs. Nursing moms who want to build their milk supply can choose either the Nursing Time Tea or the Nursing Blend, or can take both if they desire!
TLB: Other than trying some Nursing Time Tea or Nursing Blend, what’s your #1 tip for moms to be sure they have a great supply of milk for their nurslings?
Suzanne: The two things we tend to emphasize most with nursing moms who are working to establish a dependable and plentiful milk supply are frequent feedings and as much skin to skin contact with their little bundle in between feedings as possible. It is well-known that this skin to skin contact increases prolactin levels, which stimulates breast milk production. But, we also believe that encouraging this closeness between mom and baby gives busy moms an “excuse” (sometimes we will only do what we are told to do, right?) to rest . . .which is really what most moms need more of as it is easier for a well-rested mom to establish her breast milk supply than it is for a fatigued mom.
This giveaway is for a 3 bag supply of Nursing Time Tea for one lucky winner, which represents a retail value of $45. Nursing Time Tea is the all-natural herbal tonic designed to help nursing mothers increase their milk flow and soothe digestive unease of both mother and baby. Nursing Time Tea brings together a select array of safe and proven ingredients to aid nursing and providing a rich spectrum of nutritive vitamins and minerals for robust and healthy breastfeeding. Each bag of Nursing Time Tea is vacuum-sealed for freshness and contains a 1 month supply. All ingredients are organic and wildcrafted, and of the freshest and highest quality with no preservatives or additives. Nursing Time Tea is caffeine-free and has a brisk lemony flavor that is comforting and refreshing.

Love the part about what working moms can do. It’s a challenge but so worth pumping at work. I refuse to allow my job to dictate how I feed my baby!
This sounds great! Even if I don’t win, I’ll probably buy some anyway.
Would love to try this tea! I tried another kind and all it did was give me an upset tummy. I hope to get a chance to try this tea.

I just returned to work and I’m hoping my nursing will go on strong! It has been a wonderful 3 months so far, as reflected in the fact that my baby is now 15 pounds (she started at 7 pounds 5 oz.)
I would love to try some nursing tea!! 🙂

I would love this as a gift for my cousin! 🙂 my supply is great and I don’t need anything, but I know since this is my cousins first baby this tea may help if she encounters any problems 🙂
I have been so busy feeding baby #6 and juggling the rest of the family and their needs that I havent had the time to go shopping for something like this. We are nearly at the 12 month mark but my milk supply has declined alot for no apparent reason! I am in no way ready to give up the love and joy breastfeeding gives my baby and I. I would love to win this because I have heard its a great product with great results.

I never knew they made wonderful tea to help my supply! I definitely would love it since I have to pump and nurse just to keep my supply up.
I would love to see if Nursing Time Tea can help my struggling supply!
Saw this on Facebook, and though I’d give it a try. Hope to win since I’ve been taking domperidone for the past 4 months. Don’t want to take it anymore! Even if i don’t win I might buy some.
This is a great giveaway. I could really use some nursing tea!

I would love to win. Sounds like exactly what is needed.
I would LOVE to win this tea!!!! I love tea and would love to try this out to boost my supply!
I would love to try this!! My son is almost 11 months old and I work full time. I have recently been battling decreased supply whil pumping at work. I have been getting very upset over this! My goal was to nurse my son for at least the first 12 months. I’m upset to be so close yet so far. I have been trying other herbal supplements but have not seen any results yet. I would love to continue to be able to nurse my son and continue to only give him breast milk while I’m at work!
This tea sounds great. I would love to try.
Thank you for a great giveaway
I would love to win this. Trying to up my supply before going back to work

This is a great give away! I am a firm believer in nursing teas. I drink some every day. I have tried a few different blends and have felt benefits from all of them. Beginning to drink these teas increased my production enough to build a freezer supply before returning to work at 8 weeks and have since helped me keep my production up through stresses of working full time and a recent move. My little one is a big healthy 8 months and never had a drop of formula even though I work full time, and I think drinking lactation teas has really helped me achieve this.
I would love to try this! It sounds like a great nursing tea!
I’d love to try this tea!

I’m active duty army and working full time, I have noticed a huge decrease in my milk… I’m stationed in Germany and I’ve tried the “stilltee” but I have not noticed any good results.
