Research from the ABS has found that for the past decade September was the most common month overall for births. Therefore, there will be many expectant mothers right now who will be experiencing the highs and lows of motherhood, and some will be breastfeeding their babies. You might be this mother, or, you might know someone who is expecting, and you’d like to give a unique but helpful gift.
The founders of Clean Tea, makers of 100% organic herbal tea, have recently launched their new business, The Breastfeeding Tea Co., just in time for this occasion. The Breastfeeding Tea Co. offers teas that are a natural solution for colic symptoms including wind, pain, and discomfort. Designed by a herbalist and hand blended, these teas simplify solutions for mums experiencing breastfeeding challenges, or who are simply tired or exhausted.
Founder and CEO of The Breastfeeding Tea Co., Jordana Edwards says, “I created our first breastfeeding tea after the birth of my third child who was experiencing a lot of difficulty latching, had silent reflux and was a really difficult baby to feed. I had very little guidance around lactation, I wasn’t getting any sleep, I felt exhausted and desperate and was still trying to run a growing tea business and look after and care for my family.”
She continues, “My Mum, a naturopath, made me a tea to help and I started drinking it… It was exactly the solution I needed! Shortly after we introduced it into our tea company, Clean Tea, hoping it would help other mothers in the same way. It went on to help thousands and thousands of mums around Australia. Within months we were getting feedback from mums such as, ‘I’m only two days into drinking it and my baby’s tummy has settled so much already! He’s so much happier and actually slept a lot better last night’. We created our 100% natural and safe breastfeeding teas because we want all mothers and their baby to feel their healthiest and most relaxed, so they can enjoy this precious time together.”
