Tea for breast milk?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Herbal teas sold under the name "lactation tea" to increase breast milk are common, but their effectiveness varies from person to person and scientific evidence is limited. The most reliable milk-boosting methods are frequent and effective baby suckling, mother's adequate fluid intake (2.5-3 liters of water daily), and balanced nutrition. If you're considering herbal tea, you can try one of the traditionally known plants like fennel or anise, up to 1-2 cups daily. However, before starting any herbal tea, consult your doctor—some herbs can cause gas, allergies, or stimulating effects in your baby.
