🎁 A thoughtful, beautiful gift for new mums and baby showers

This tea is made for you if:

• You're breastfeeding or pumping and want a calming evening lactation ritual
• Witching hour breaks you, and you need a sensory cue that says "the day is winding down"
• You want a traditional fennel and fenugreek galactagogue blend with a soft floral twist
• You enjoy aromatic, gently sweet herbal teas
• Your IBCLC, midwife, or child health nurse has suggested fennel- and fenugreek-based galactagogue support

Not the right fit if you have a fenugreek allergy or sensitivity, are taking medications that interact with fenugreek, have hypothyroid concerns, or have been advised to avoid fenugreek by your healthcare provider. (Try Berry Bliss instead — it's fenugreek-free.)

Also not suitable during pregnancy.

Step 1 — Brew: Add 1 heaped teaspoon of tea per cup. Pour over freshly boiled water and let steep for 5–7 minutes for the fullest flavour and herbal infusion.

Step 2 — Strain & sip: Strain into your favourite mug. The natural sweetness of fennel and aniseed means most mums enjoy it as is — though a small spoon of honey or splash of oat milk works beautifully too.

Step 3 — Build the ritual: 1–2 cups in the late afternoon or evening is a lovely starting point. Pair it with a warm shower, a deep breath, and the smallest pause you can manage in a busy day.

Want it iced? Brew double-strength, let it cool, and pour over ice. Add a slice of lemon or sprig of fresh mint for a gentle afternoon refresher.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place in the resealable pouch. Best within 12 months of opening.

Mama tip: For a complete evening wind-down ritual, pair with Lactation Cookies and 10 minutes of stillness — even if it's just sitting in the car after the bedtime routine.

Results: Every mum is different. Some notice a difference within a day or two; others take a little longer with consistent daily use. Results may vary.

Witching hour breaks me every night. Is there anything that helps?

You're not alone. The late afternoon is hard for so many mums. No tea settles a baby, but a small ritual helps you get through it. Brew a cup of Lavender Lullaby Lactation Tea when the worst has passed, sit down, and let the day soften. Lavender gives it a soft floral aroma made for evenings.

I worry my supply drops by the evening. Will this tea help?

Supply worry often peaks in the evening, when babies cluster feed. You're not alone in it. Lavender Lullaby is made with fennel, fenugreek and aniseed, ingredients traditionally used to support breastfeeding. It's a nourishing cup, not a fix for low supply. If you're worried about your supply or your baby's weight, talk to your child health nurse, GP or a lactation consultant (IBCLC).

I'm up for 3am feeds and running on empty. Will this tea keep me awake?

No. Nourish Mama Lavender Lullaby Lactation Tea has no caffeine, so it suits late feeds. Brew a cup before bed and keep it in an insulated cup by your feeding chair, or drink it iced from the fridge. Keep water within reach too, because breastfeeding is thirsty work.

I've tried lactation teas that taste awful. What does this one taste like?

Slightly sweet and gently floral. Fennel and aniseed give it a soft anise sweetness, fenugreek adds a warm, slightly maple depth, and lavender brings the floral aroma. Most mums drink it as is. A small spoon of honey or a splash of oat milk works too. It's lovely iced as well.

Who is Lavender Lullaby made for?

Breastfeeding and pumping mums who want a calming evening ritual and a fennel and fenugreek blend. It's not the right fit if you have a fenugreek or chickpea allergy, hypothyroid concerns, take blood-sugar or other medication that interacts with fenugreek, or you've been advised to avoid fenugreek. It's not for use in pregnancy.

When can I start drinking it?

After your baby arrives. Lavender Lullaby contains fenugreek. Not for use in pregnancy. Once you're breastfeeding or pumping, start any time. The late afternoon and evening suit it best, as part of a wind-down at the end of the day.

Will the lavender make me sleepy?

Lavender gives the tea its soft floral aroma, and many people link that scent with winding down. Lavender Lullaby isn't a sleep aid, and we make no sleep claims. It's an evening tea because the flavour and the ritual suit the end of the day. How you feel after a cup is individual.

Does it suit a vegan or gluten-free diet?

Yes. Nourish Mama Lavender Lullaby Lactation Tea is vegan. It's made without caffeine, gluten, added sugar, fillers, artificial flavours, preservatives or GMO ingredients. All six botanicals are certified organic. It does contain fenugreek, so read the allergen answer below if you have a chickpea allergy.

How do I make it?

Add 1 heaped teaspoon per cup to an infuser or teapot. Pour over freshly boiled water and steep for 5 to 7 minutes. Strain into your mug. The natural sweetness of fennel and aniseed means most mums enjoy it as is, though a little honey or oat milk works well.

How many cups should I drink?

Start with 1 to 2 cups in the late afternoon or evening. Many mums have one around 4pm and one before bed. Gentle and steady is the approach. Pair it with a warm shower, a deep breath, or ten minutes sitting still.

How do I make it iced?

Brew it double strength, let it cool, then pour it over ice. Add a slice of lemon or a sprig of fresh mint. The fennel and aniseed give it a natural sweetness that works well cold, so Lavender Lullaby Lactation Tea makes a gentle afternoon drink too.

What's in Lavender Lullaby?

Six certified organic ingredients: fenugreek seeds, aniseed, fennel seeds, alfalfa leaf, marshmallow root and lavender. Each 50g resealable foil-lined pouch makes about 20 serves. Fennel, fenugreek and aniseed are traditional galactagogue herbs. Alfalfa is a mineral-rich leaf, and marshmallow root adds a smooth, mellow quality.

What allergens does it contain?

The Lavender Lullaby listing carries no 'Contains' or 'May contain' statement. It contains fenugreek. Fenugreek is not recommended for people with a fenugreek or chickpea allergy, hypothyroid conditions, or on certain blood-sugar medications. It's made without caffeine, gluten, added sugar, fillers, artificial flavours or preservatives, and it's vegan.

Can I drink it while pregnant or on medication?

Not in pregnancy. Lavender Lullaby contains fenugreek. Not for use in pregnancy. If you have a fenugreek or chickpea allergy, a thyroid condition, or take blood-sugar or other medication, check with your GP before you start. Your midwife, IBCLC or child health nurse can help with any breastfeeding questions.

Lavender Lullaby or Berry Bliss: which should I choose?

Lavender Lullaby is calming and gently floral, with fennel, fenugreek and aniseed, made for evenings. Berry Bliss Lactation Tea is bright and berry-forward, and fenugreek-free, with raspberry leaf, nettle, oatstraw and goji. Many mums keep both: Berry Bliss for daytime, Lavender Lullaby for evenings. If fenugreek is a no for you, choose Berry Bliss.

How is it different from Sweet Serenity?

Sweet Serenity Lactation Tea is fruity and naturally sweet, with apple, rosehip, hibiscus, raspberry leaf and fennel. It's fenugreek-free and contains a small amount of peppermint. Lavender Lullaby is floral and gently sweet, with fenugreek, and it's made for the end of the day. Choose by flavour, and by whether fenugreek suits you.

How is it different from other lactation teas?

Lavender Lullaby pairs the traditional trio of fennel, fenugreek and aniseed with lavender, for a cup made for the evening. Every ingredient is certified organic and listed in full, with no fillers, artificial flavours or preservatives. Kelly Northey, a Certified Postpartum Nutrition Professional, created it. Compare labels closely when you shop.

How long does one pouch last?

Each 50g pouch makes about 20 serves. At 1 to 2 cups a day, one pouch lasts about 10 to 20 days. If it's your nightly ritual, order two pouches so you don't run out mid-month.

Is it a good gift for a new mum?

Yes, especially for a friend in the thick of witching hour. The pouch is gift-worthy on its own, and the evening ritual feels like permission to slow down. Pair it with Nourish Mama Lactation Cookies for a complete gift. Give it once the baby has arrived, as it's not for use in pregnancy.

How do I store it, and how fast does it ship?

Store it in a cool, dry place in the resealable pouch, and use it within 12 months of opening. Most orders leave us within 1 to 2 business days. Shipping is free within Australia on orders over $99. Otherwise it's a $12 flat rate within Australia and $15 to New Zealand.

Lactation consultants, breastfeeding counsellors, specialist nurses like child health nurses or doctors can also help with any breastfeeding questions or concerns you may have.
