Traditional Medicinals Mother’s Milk has long been a trusted option for moms looking to boost their breastmilk supply. I had the chance to ask Dannelle Jenkins, marketing coordinator for Traditional Medicinals, some questions about the company, how they are celebrating moms this year, and what their Mother’s Day wish is for all moms.
TLB: What should TLB readers know about Traditional Medicinals?
Dannelle: We love breastfeeding moms and support you all the way! We know that breastfeeding can be a wonderful, challenging, rewarding and sometimes awkward journey and we hope to provide you a little moment of peace and comfort with our Mother’s Milk(r) tea, used for centuries by women to help them breastfeed.*
TLB: How did Traditional Medicinals come to be?
Dannelle: In early 1974, three young friends started Traditional Medicinals(r) in the back store room of a small herb shop along the Russian River in Northern California. For nearly forty years, we’ve been passionate about connecting people with plants and passing along the centuries-old wisdom of how to use them. After all these years, our aspirations remain the same: help you use plants to be healthy. We are devoted stewards of traditional herbal medicine, practitioners of sustainable sourcing, meticulous judges of highest quality herbs, caring members of our communities, proud employee-owners of our independent company, herb nerds, and plant people who, without meaning to sound too hippie about it, feel like the plants are talking to us. We hope you will enjoy the fruits (or flowers, roots and leaves) of our labor. With over 50 herbal teas created by herbalists for your health and wellness, we invite you to explore the wonderful world of plants. In good health!
TLB: How are you celebrating Mother’s Day?
Dannelle: This Mother’s Day, we created a slideshow of our employees and all the reasons they love their moms. Check out our Facebook page to see what we have to say to our own moms this year.
TLB: What do you wish for all mothers this mother’s day?
Dannelle: We hope all you mothers are able to enjoy and embrace the wonderful (sometimes messy!) experience of being a mom. It’s one of the greatest things to do and to be and we love you for it. We hope you love yourselves too.

Love this stuff~!
I have a history of low supply and have used this tea as a go to drink while nursing, I’d love to win!
When I nursed my first kiddo I wasn’t able to keep up with her. After 4 weeks we had to stop nursing and supplement with formula. I wanted to nurse for a year or more and I was unable to. This would be a huge help to me with my 2nd LO being due in June. I want to nurse until baby is a minimum of a year old.
I loved this stuff. It helped both times I breastfed, and I will be doing it again as I am currently pregnant.
Mothers Milk tea saved me when I went back to work and started pumping! I was able to sustain my lo through a year of pumping. He is still going strong at 13 months! I love the taste too! 🙂
I have to go back to work in 4 weeks. I would love this to help make sure my supply doesn’t drop as I start pumping.
Would love to have this on hand after I have my little boy in June
would love to have this on hand after our little boy makes his arrival.

I would love to win this tea – my supervisor is breastfeeding her son and running low due to a lack of supply when it comes to pumping.
My son will have to have surgery on his lip, which means exclusively pumping for a few weeks. This would help!!
I’d love to try this tea!
As a first time soon-to-be nursing mom, I want to stack the deck and do everything I can to improve my chances of being a successful breastfeeder! It’s the most natural thing I can provide for my little one and the only thing in this pregnancy I am dead set on!
works well!!
This tea has worked for me!!
This is the ONLY thing that seems to increase my chronic low supply! I go through 2-3 boxes a week! I would LOVE to have the tea!!
I have heard of this product but have never tried it! I’ve heard great things about it when it comes to increasing supply, I have to start pumping soon and would hate to start running low on my supply!
This stuff is great- and this statement comes from a skeptic.
I love this stuff. I used it to get my milk going when I had trouble getting my daughter to nurse through billirubin issues.

I’m currently bf’ing baby #4, and I’m hoping to do extended bf’ing this time.
I need some of this now that I’m back at work!
I love this stuff! I drink it all the time and go through a ton of it.
Had some with DS and if I recall correctly it was yummy & did help quite alot. Bummer is it’s a but expensive. Have been thinking I need to pick some up next time I’m at grocery store to start building up milk supply for when I go back to work in only 6 more weeks. Last timei didn’t prepare enough BEFORE going back to work and pretty much always ran low on milk when I was at work, had to give a bit of formula to make it to 1 year then had to give at least some cow’s milk most days I worked despite continuing to nurse.
Great article on the mothers milk tea. I really love this product and it would be a pleasure to participate in a promo. Thanks!
