How to make fennel tea for breast milk?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Fennel tea is a traditional method commonly used by nursing mothers to support breast milk production. It's quite simple to make:

Add about one teaspoon (roughly 2-3 grams) of dried fennel seeds to a cup of boiling water. Cover and let it steep for 10-12 minutes. After steeping, strain and drink. It's recommended not to consume more than 2-3 cups per day, as excessive fennel can cause gas or discomfort in some babies.

Another practical option is to use ready-made fennel tea bags; steep the same way for 10 minutes. However, remember that adequate fluid intake and frequent breastfeeding are the most important factors for increasing milk production—fennel tea is only a supporting aid.
