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

The first thing I said when opening my package was "FINALLY". Why? Because they actually list how much of each herb is in their product. In my picture, you can see how a competitor has a ton of herbs, but you dont actually know how much of each is in there. It is just listed as a "proprietary blend". There could be any amount. I want to know what I'm ingesting and all the information. I highly appreciate this!Now, I just started this. So I'll have to come back and update if I do or do not notice any issues. With the first dose, I haven't noticed any stomach discomfort on myself or baby. No weird taste, or smell and the pill itself isn't large at all. I'm optimistic. I have tried pretty much every supplement you can think of. And this is the last one I'm going to try.The chamomile caught my eye. Chamomile is a newer found galatagouge. I have been drinking chamomile tea each night and I've seen a difference. So I love that it's in an easy supplement!

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 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.

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!
