Night Owl FAQ's
Can I drink this blend whilst breastfeeding?
All of the ingredients in Night Owl have been carefully balanced for breastfeeding.
We recommend limiting yourself to no more than 3 cups of one type of herbal tea a day.
You can try having a cup of Night Owl one hour before the final feed of the day - it's calming benefits should pass on to your baby through your milk, and hopefully make bed time a little easier!
Milk's Up tea FAQ's
How many cups should I have a day?
We recommend having up to 3-4 cups a day. Combine this with pumping to establish your milk supply. NHS guidelines recommend a maximum 4 cups of any one herbal tea a day. *The impact of natural herbs will vary person to person.
Why are these herbs used to support my milk flow?
Fenugreek, fennel, aniseed, and even oats, are all galactagogues, which have all been used historically to support breastfeeding. No one 100% knows why, but lab studies link an active component - diosgenin, to help breastfeeding.
What is the research behind the blend?
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 Electrolyte Powder FAQ's
Is Get Up & Glow safe to use throughout pregnancy?
Yes. Get Up & Glow is specifically formulated with pregnancy safety in mind. All vitamins and minerals are included at levels consistent with UK prenatal guidance. As with any supplement, we always recommend checking with your midwife or GP if you have any individual concerns — particularly if you are taking other prenatal supplements alongside it.
Can I use it while breastfeeding?
Absolutely. The formulation has been developed to support both pregnancy and the postpartum period, including breastfeeding. Breastfeeding significantly increases your fluid and mineral requirements, and Get Up & Glow can help you meet those needs deliciously and conveniently.
Is elderberry safe in pregnancy?
We include elderberry powder in very small amounts, primarily for colour and flavour. As a precaution, and in line with EU guidance, we advise that elderberry is not recommended during pregnancy as a standalone supplement. If you have any concerns, please speak with your healthcare provider.
Does it contain caffeine?
No. Get Up & Glow is completely caffeine-free, making it suitable throughout the day and during any stage of pregnancy or breastfeeding.
How much folic acid does it contain — does it count as my daily prenatal folic acid?
Each serving contains 400µg of folic acid — the standard UK-recommended daily amount for pregnancy. If your prenatal supplement also contains folic acid, please check the total dose across both products doesn't exceed 1,000µg (1mg) per day. As always, your midwife or GP can advise on what's right for you.
Can I use it alongside other HotTea Mama products?
Yes — our teas are herbal and do not contain vitamins or minerals, so they can be enjoyed alongside Get Up & Glow. If you're taking any other vitamin or mineral supplements, we recommend checking with your healthcare provider to ensure you're not doubling up on any nutrients.
What does it taste like?
It has a light, refreshing mixed-berry flavour — think raspberry, strawberry, and blueberry with a slightly fruity finish. It's gently sweetened with stevia so it's not overly sweet, and the citric acid gives it a clean, refreshing edge. Most people find it most enjoyable chilled or over ice.
When is the best time to drink it?
Whenever you need it most! First thing in the morning is a great way to replenish fluids after a night's sleep. It's also brilliant mid-afternoon, after exercise, or whenever you feel that familiar low-energy dip. There's no wrong time — just listen to your body.
Is it vegan?
Yes, all ingredients in Get Up & Glow are plant-based or mineral-derived, making it suitable for vegans and vegetarians.

Each of our packs has simple instructions on it, but essentially you should use 1 tea bag per person, and freshly boiled water for all except Head Start. This tea works best with 80-degree water (let your kettle sit for 5 minutes with the lid open after boiling). Brew for 3-5 minutes depending on how strong you like it.

-
Use 1 bag per 300ml of water (this is the average size of a water glass) Add freshly boiled water, as if you were making a normal cuppa. Place the glass, with the tea bag still in, in your fridge to cool. Enjoy once cool - add lots of ice and fruit if you're feeling fancy.
