Happy Healthy Hippie Pump It Up Lactation Supplement – Postnatal Vitamins for Women Breastfeeding | Supports Breast Milk Supply Increase | Fennel Seed, Chamomile, Motherwort, Raspberry Leaf | 60 Ct

I’m a mother who is 7 months pp and have struggled since my baby’s birth with milk supply. I found out the hard way that Fenugreek didn’t work for me, it seemed to be decreasing my milk supply. That’s when I found these supplements, and they’re the best thing I’ve tried. They help with my supply and I’ve even been in a better mood since taking them. I’m not super tired these days, and I have a consistent supply when I pump bottles for my baby. Now I will say, I don’t have enough supply for storage, that just hasn’t been my journey however, I am more than happy with the results I am able to produce for my baby. Hope these vegan supplements work for other mamas out there!

I truly notice an immediate increase in supply with this stuff. They advise you to take the two capsules together, so I take them together before bed and will have a boost through the night/when I wake in the morning that lasts through the day. I ran out of my first bottle and thought, "Well, maybe I don't need them anymore," and a couple weeks later I was reordering in a panic. I love the taste of fennel, so that's a huge plus for me. If you really hate licorice the taste may not be for you, but I personally think the benefits are worth it even if you don't love the taste. I also just love the ingredient list and knowing these are truly just natural herbs collected in an easy capsule for me. They're on the higher price range of the supply-boosting supplements I was considering, but the ingredient list is also the best I've seen. So I think it's worth it. Plus, I love knowing I'm supporting a small family business. All around a win!

I really wanted to like this product. In the first few days of taking this supplement I had so much milk that I felt engorged (and got a clogged duct out of it) and I was genuinely excited! With my previous baby I made just enough for her but no extra to save up. So having a product to help keep my freezer stocked was amazing.HOWEVER my poor 2 month old baby has had so much gas she's absolutely miserable. She went from pooping 1-2x daily to not pooping for days. After stopping for a few days, she went right back to normal.Also, my supply went right back to normal after the adjustment period (about a week and a half). I'm so bummed.The pills are somewhat buoyant so that makes them a little difficult to swallow and have a somewhat earthy aftertaste that can be unsettling but goes away quickly.Doing further research into the ingredients I noticed some are not recommended for infants so that's also troubling. It could be possible that it's the cause of my babe's discomfort.All in all, this product worked for a short time with fantastic results but I cannot in good conscience keep taking these knowing it's making my babe suffer.

My background:• I have no medical conditions that would effect my milk supply. Nor does our son.• My second child born: 6/16 - no complications. He was four days early, slightly jaundice. We had to bottle feed for a little bit.• We mostly nurse & pump - my goal is to nurse 85% of the time.• Pump- I use a double electric Medela pump. An older model.• If little man still acts hungry, won't latch, and I don't have any breast milk - we sup formula.Reason why I purchased prodcut:Wanted to have an extra supply to freeze.I've been taking this product for about a week now. I've maybe increased supply by a few ounces, nothing dramatic. I pump in between feedings - only four times a day. He nurses all the time.Energy levels - not sure if it helped to be honest. I drink 6oz of coffee in the morning and eat a pretty healthy diet. I'm also getting blocks of 3-4 hours of sleep.Side effects: I haven't had any that were noticeable. No stomach aches or decrease in milk supply.Photos: Me holding our son & the milk I just pumped twenty minutes ago. My son just nursed for 15-20m. I haven't pumped since 11pm last night (So, 12 hours).I hope this helps. There are so many factors that effect your milk supply. I also see a lactation consultant once a week. I highly recommend it. Good luck ladies!

Let me start by saying that I don’t normally post reviews unless it’s beneficial to other people.BE VERY CAREFUL WITH YOUR CHILD AND THIS PRODUCT.First of all, this did not help my milk supply at all. It made me super gassy and so uncomfortable. At first, I thought it was my diet so I changed that. Then I started drinking more water thinking I was dehydrated. Then after my 5th day, I looked towards my medications that I take and the ONLY new pill was this one. After stopping it for a few days, I felt so much better.Now on to my baby! I have a 6 week old that had normal bowl patterns. Literally would eat and poop, until I started taking these pills. He became severely constipated (so bad that we bought the Windee product to relieve his trapped gas and constipation). He was straining, grunting and crying hysterically just to get gas out! His poor little belly was hard as a rock and so tender, he would scream if we touched him. We were doing the bicycles, Tummy time, gripe water & chamomile tea *not with anise* around the clock... I mean you name it, we tried it. The Windee product literally saved us!***(FYI: use caution with Anise and infants as it can cause seizures)***Good thing I was only on these pills for 5 days and not any longer or we may have rushed my baby to the ER!Please be cautious when purchasing things & ask the pediatrician. It’s better safe than sorry & I’m truly sorry I bought this product and put my baby under so much unnecessary stress!

Having a baby is hard. Having a baby during Covid is even harder.I was due with my 4th baby in early May of 2020, though it had been almost a decade since I’d had my last. I struggled to varying degrees to maintain my milk supply with baby 2 and 3 and was excited to see what the developments in lactation support might be able to do- expecting to need a booster at some point.I couldn’t, however, have ever expected how Covid-19 would effect my postpartum life. As a self-employed hairstylist, I have never had the luxury of maternity leave- I typically schedule myself out of work for 5-6 weeks- not knowing when the baby might come in that time. Then return to a limited schedule. This pregnancy was no different in planning, but way different in actuality.My job was shut down in mid March for quarantine. Baby, luckily, came a few weeks early; healthy, happy and big! My milk came in as usual, and the weeks started to fly by.Mid June we were told we could return to work. My baby was 7 weeks old, I’d been out of work for 12 weeks. My partner had 2 weeks left of his leave and I had over 100 clients displaced and eager to get in. We made the decision as a family that I would get as many people in during those two weeks as was possible. And it was, by far, the most exhausting time of my life.I worked 12 days straight with 12-14 hours each day. I would feed the baby early in the morning and pump then go to work. I failed to plan enough h time to pump, and when I did have time, the salon was too busy and the bathroom unavailable. A few days I went 12+ hours between pumping. I was miserable, uncomfortable, hormonal, dehydrated and under fueled. Each day, my pumping sessions produced less and less milk. I’d come home from work and cry as I held my baby.I spent one whole evening searching Amazon for portable /cordless pumps- almost spending the $500. Then I remembered hearing about these supplements. I ordered them immediately, thinking worst case I’m out a few bucks before I committed to a few hundred.The VERY NEXT DAY after using “Pump It Up” my morning pumping session produced 4 oz instead of 2. I immediately ordered 2 more bottles directly from the Healthy Happy Hippie website. I couldn’t be happier with the results.The capsules do have a slight licorice flavor/scent, but I don’t mind it in the least. There’s no heartburn or indigestion and especially no burping aftertaste.HHH and Pump It Up saved my milk supply during one of the physically and emotionally hardest times in my life. I’m extremely grateful!

I can’t say enough great things about this supplement, it made a hugeeeee difference in my supply. My baby was born 3 weeks early, had a lip tie and tongue tie, and a high pallet. Trying to get her to latch adequately enough was almost impossible. The first 2 weeks we ended up having to supplement with formula because I was only pumping 2-3 ounces per 20 min pumping session. After starting this supplement I’m now able to freeze 4-8 ounces a day, while simultaneously breastfeeding and following up with pumping after each feed, and will still produce 4-5 ounces each session. Overnight I am able to produce 6-7 ounces in one pumping session. I now make enough milk to not have to supplement with formula at all, even with all of the latch issues we struggled with over the last 7 weeks. I also don’t feel it makes my baby gassy at all, which makes it even better! Breastfeeding is so hard for some people and this is a huge help to get you over the hump to the 6-8 week window when it starts to get easier. Hang in there Momma and do yourself a favor and get this supplement!

Before writing my review I just want to say that I’m not 100% my results are ALL due to those supplements as I’m also taking one Mother’s milk a day as well as one bag of herbal tea BUT my milk supply came back!I’m an exclusive pumper and only breastfeed on rare occasions as baby never got to latch properly, even with the help of numerous lactation consultants. I’ve always been an over supplier since day 5, to the point of being able to stack milk + bath baby in it. I caught mastitis at 7 weeks and my milk supply suddenly went from 45oz to not even 20oz. Baby eats 30-35 so at that point, I was not making enough from EITHER breast. I was devastated and tried everything I could as far as hydration and increased pumping sessions/pumping time. It didn’t work. Since I’ve started taking these, my milk supply is almost back to normal, aside the affected boob who gives me less than it used to but enough to feed baby on a daily basis! And it’s only been 4 days.Coincidence or not, baby has been passing gas on her own without getting upset AND HAS BEEN SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT from 9.30 to 6.30 since I started.TRY IT!
