Some Things NOT to Say to a Nursing Mom

Our son is 11 months old and of course is still breastfeeding and will until June or so, when I will start giving him a sippy with the freezer "stash" of my milk and when that 128 oz is gone, then he will get whole milk. By then, he will be 14 months or so when he weans if all goes well. 

 Keep reading to hear what you shouldn't say to a nursing mom.

*Sponsored* Mom Select - Premama Lactation Drink Mix

*Disclaimer - This is a sponsored post with Mom Select, and all opinions are that of my own. I received a gift card.



I applied for a campaign with Mom Select with Premama Lactation drink mix, and being as I'm a breastfeeding mother to our 3 1/2 month old I thought this would be a good product to help me make a freezer "stash" of my milk for him, since he gets one bottle of pumped milk at night. I love shopping at CVS, so I jumped at this opportunity!

Review:
Below, is the picture of the drink mixes I received. There's one missing of the Lactation as I was drinking with it in my water bottle. The flavor of these that I received and bought is berry, which tastes a bit strange but it's okay. It has a stronger flavor to it than I am use to with berry. This product is great for nursing moms, moms who pump for work, or just moms that exclusively pump for their babies. You must mix this in a bottle of water that's 12 oz or more, and shake it until it's well blended. This is only meant to be drank once a day per packet.

This product has Propietary blend in it that are specifically great for milk supply and include: 
- Fenugreek Seed
- Blessed Thistle PE 4:1
- Fennel Seed (Foeniculum Vulgare)
- Red Raspberry Leaf Powder





Below, is the picture of the 28 count box of Lactation drink mix from Premama that I bought. I am not too fond of the flavor, even though I love berry but I drink it because it's good for helping your milk supply, and it truly is! I have drank 1 drink mix a day for a week almost now and have pumped 3 - 4 times a day (I usually only pump once a day), due to being engorged from milk supply increase, and so far I have eight pouches of my milk in 8 oz in the freezer stored, which totals 63 oz in a week. I highly recommend this product to moms who are nursing, and they also sell Fertility drink mix that can help your fertility increase.
