Your Ultimate Guide to Organic Breastfeeding Support
Let’s be honest: breastfeeding is a journey. It’s a beautiful, bonding experience, but it’s also a lot of work. Phew! Whether you are nursing, exclusively pumping, or doing a mix of both, your body is working overtime to nourish that little human. Sometimes, you need a little nourishment and care yourself. That’s where Earth Mama comes in. At Earth Mama, we believe in providing grounded, herbal "breastfeeding support" that meets you exactly where you are. We know that sometimes you need to soothe sore nipples, sometimes you need a boost in supply, and sometimes you just need a snack that works as hard as you do. We’ve rounded up our favorite helpers, including some exciting new products designed to make your lactation journey a little smoother (and tastier). From our trusty nipple creams to brand-new lactation drink mixes, here is your guide to the Earth Mama lactation lineup.
Balms: Soothe Your Nipples Gently
If there is one thing every nursing mom adds to her registry first, it’s a good balm. Sore, cracked nipples can be a hurdle in the early days, and keeping that delicate skin moisturized is essential.
Organic Nipple Butter
This is the jar you know and love. It’s buttery, botanical-rich, and clinically tested. The best part? It’s non-GMO Project Verified and safe for baby, so there’s no need to wash it off before nursing.
Vegan Nipple Butter
For mamas who prefer plant-based products without beeswax, we created a vegan version of our classic balm. It offers the same moisturizing relief and safety standards, just without the bee products.
Creams: The New Way to Soothe
We have all heard the old wives' tale (that actually works) about putting cabbage leaves in your bra to help with breast discomfort while nursing. But let’s face it—walking around with wilted vegetables in your bra isn't always convenient.
Booby Soothe Cabbage Cream
Meet the new game-changer in "lactation support." This cream is a convenient, easy-to-use alternative to fresh cabbage leaves, helping relieve breast discomfort during breastfeeding or weaning. Our thoughtfully formulated blend contains organic shea butter and aloe, featuring red cabbage extract, cucumber seed oil, and coconut oil to soothe and moisturize.
Teas: Sip Your Support
Herbal tea has been a go-to for nursing mothers for generations. Whether you are looking to boost your liquid gold or you are ready to say goodbye to nursing, there is a blend for you.
Organic Milkmaid Tea
This fragrant, comforting tea is packed with traditional galactagogues—herbs that help support breast milk production. It’s a warm hug in a mug for when you’re worried about supply.
Organic No More Milk Tea
On the other end of the spectrum, when you are ready to wean, this tea helps reduce breast milk production naturally with hibiscus and sage.
Bars: Snacks with Superpowers
You know that ravenous hunger that hits the moment the baby latches? We have got you covered. We are thrilled to introduce our new Organic Milkmaid ® Lactation Bars. These aren't just snacks; they are functional food designed with herbs traditionally used to help support breastmilk supply.
Organic Milkmaid Lactation Bars
These bars are made with herbal ingredients traditionally used to support breastmilk supply, especially for nursing and pumping moms. They are USDA Certified Organic and feature breastfeeding superfood superheroes like organic moringa, organic flax seed, organic oats, and organic peanuts. Plus, each bar has 5-6g of protein to keep you fueled.
Drink Mixes: Hydrate and Replenish
Staying hydrated is rule number one for milk production, but plain water can get boring. Our new drink mixes add flavor and function to your water bottle.
LactaHYDRATE Organic Lactation Electrolyte Drink Mix
This mix is packed with organic herbs that help support your breastmilk supply, along with organic coconut water powder to keep you happily hydrated. This USDA Certified Organic raspberry-lime flavored drink mix features herbal superheroes especially for nursing and pumping moms, like organic moringa leaf, organic ginger root, and organic fennel seed.
LactaGLOW Lactation Collagen Drink Mix
Want to support your supply and your skin? This mix is packed with herbs that help support your breastmilk supply along with grass-fed, NON-GMO collagen to support your hair and skin’s glow potential. It features herbal superheroes like moringa leaf, nettle, and shatavari.
The Essential Tool: Booby Tubes
Finally, no breastfeeding kit is complete without Booby Tubes. These clever, gel-free breast packs provide warm or cool therapy. Use them warm to encourage milk flow and help prevent clogged ducts, or use them cold to soothe tenderness and engorgement. They are a simple, reusable tool that makes a massive difference in your comfort level.
You've Got This, Mama
Whether you are looking for a reliable "nipple cream," a tasty snack to keep in the diaper bag, or a soothing cream for those uncomfortable days, we are here to support you. Breastfeeding is a labor of love, and you deserve products that love you back.
