I just found the recent article on the use of herbal supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding.... It's much appreciated!
I have one question... The article says
"Peppermint oil should also not be used in women who breastfeed because it has been shown to suppress lactation."
Can you point me to the source for this information?
I see a lot of questions about it in breastfeeding support forums, from moms who are so worried about peppermint decreasing supply that they're afraid to eat candy canes at Christmas, yet I've never been able to find any research on it.
Thanks!
