Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can I use up my left-over Birthing Bliss Tea after the baby is here?
A: Yes - all these herbs are safe and suitable to use post-natally too - however - Peppermint and Basil have been known to reduce milk supply in susceptible women - so if you have any concerns that your milk supply is less than robust, it might be better to pay it forward and gift your Birthing Bliss Tea on to a soon-to-birth mama.
