Frequently asked questions
Go With The Flow is a lactation hot chocolate created by HotTea Mama to support breastfeeding mamas. Made with five natural ingredients - 41% Ghanaian cacao, brewer's yeast, coconut milk powder, coconut sugar and a pinch of salt - it's designed to support milk supply, restore hydration and provide nourishing energy during the postpartum period.
It works best as a daily ritual alongside regular feeding, good hydration and an effective latch. Think of it as a delicious, functional part of your wider breastfeeding toolkit.
A galactagogue is any food, herb or supplement traditionally used to support breast milk production. Brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) has been used as a natural galactagogue for generations, across many cultures.
Brewer's yeast is naturally rich in B-complex vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6), protein, chromium, iron and selenium — nutrients important for postpartum recovery and energy. Its B vitamin content is thought to support prolactin, the milk-making hormone. (Jia et al., Nutrients 2021; NCBI LactMed 2023)
In a survey of 190 breastfeeding mothers, 46% believed brewer's yeast helped increase their milk supply. (Ryan et al., J Acad Nutr Diet 2023) The BLOOM study — a multicentre randomised controlled trial — is currently investigating brewer's yeast for milk supply in a clinical setting. (Grzeskowiak et al., Int Breastfeed J 2024)
The traditional evidence is strong and many mamas find it genuinely helpful, but more large-scale clinical trials are ongoing. We recommend using Go With The Flow alongside good feeding practice and support from a lactation consultant if you have any concerns.
Absolutely. Go With The Flow has been designed for both. For a warming hot chocolate, stir four teaspoons into warm milk of your choice. For a summer treat, blend with cold oat milk and ice for a creamy lactation milkshake. We recommend oat milk either way - it's delicious and naturally supportive of lactation thanks to its beta-glucan content.
Whilst there is extremely limited standardised and empirical evidence into the efficacy of herbs in helping lactation and milk supply, some key herbs have been used for centuries to assist women who are struggling, especially in India and the Middle East. Fennel and Fenugreek in particular have been used by breastfeeding women for hundreds of years to increase milk supply. The seeds contain phytoestogens which mimic your female hormone, oestrogen. Nettle and anise have also been linked to helping breast milk, but the research is more limited here. Read a more in depth summary of research here.
Get Up & Glow is designed to replenish exactly what breastfeeding takes out -fluids, electrolytes, and key vitamins -so you can feel more like yourself again -during the fourth trimester and beyond.
Hydration that actually sticks
- Targeted electrolytes help your body retain fluid more effectively than water alone, supporting steady hydration through frequent feeds and night wakes
- Better hydration can ease common postpartum signs of fluid loss such as exhaustion, brain fog and low energy.
Energy and mood support
- Vitamin B6 at 400% NRV contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and helps regulate hormonal activity, which can be especially helpful when sleep is fragmented.
- Vitamin D at 200% NRV supports normal muscle function and immune health—two areas that often need extra attention post-birth.
Recovery and overall wellbeing
- Magnesium plays a role in reducing tiredness and fatigue and supports normal nervous system function, helping your body cope with the constant demands of feeding.
- The blend is formulated to replenish what breastfeeding depletes, so you’re not running on empty while caring for your baby.
