NewMama Drops are a 100% natural, safe and effective herbal remedy formulated to improve postpartum health and vitality, promote the flow of breast milk and safely regulate hormone levels after childbirth. NewMama Drops promote optimum health and recovery after childbirth and are safe to use during breastfeeding. Used regularly during the months following childbirth, NewMama Drops will help to gently and effectively restore hormonal balance and pre-birth vitality.

NewMama Drops contain the following 100% herbal ingredients:

·	Angelica sinensis (Don Quai) acts as a hormone regulator and is indispensable in bringing the hormones into balance after pregnancy and childbirth, helping to prevent moodiness and hot flashes often experienced after childbirth. This herb is highly respected in Traditional Chinese Medicine and also acts as a tonic herb for the reproductive system, addressing the overall health of your reproductive organs. Don Quai also helps to treat PCOS, irregular periods and the symptoms of estrogen dominance.
·	Zinziber officinalis (Ginger) is well-known as a digestive remedy and anti-inflammatory herb. It is commonly used for digestive upsets and inflammatory diseases such as arthritis. Ginger also acts as a tonic for the uterus and stimulates the uterine muscles, improving shrinking of this organ back to its original, smaller size.
·	Anethum graveolens (Dill seeds) are well-known to stimulate the milk flow of a nursing mother and, when taken regularly, can impart the anti-colic properties onto your breast-feeding baby. This herb acts as a gentle diuretic to treat water retention- a very common problem experienced with late pregnancy and after childbirth - and is also an excellent ingredient for relieving gas and cramps, both for yourself and for your baby!

NewMama Drops come in a convenient tincture drop format.

Add approximately ¼ cup just boiled water to 15 drops of tincture and allow to cool. Drink as is or diluted further in water or juice. Use three times daily for 6-12 weeks after giving birth.

Caution: Not recommended during pregnancy.

You will find a white sticker under the bottle with the expiry date on it. It is best stored in a cool dark place out of direct sunlight.

No, NewMama Drops do not have any side effects as it is 100% natural and herbal.

The answer to this depends mostly on whether or not you have chosen to breastfeed your baby. If you are bottle-feeding, you should have a menstrual period within 4-8 weeks of delivery. The bleeding may be slightly heavier than you are used to though this is nothing to worry about.

If you are breastfeeding, you may not begin to menstruate until you begin weaning your baby off the breast. If you do menstruate while still breastfeeding, be sure to drink extra fluids to prevent dehydration and keep your milk flowing.

Remember that it is actually possible for you to conceive again at this stage, even if you have not had a menstrual period. For this reason, if you do not want to risk another pregnancy so soon, you should use your chosen method of contraception as soon as you resume sexual intercourse.

Many women experience some moodiness or feelings of depression and "being down" after the baby arrives. Although the adjustment, lack of rest and hormonal changes probably all play a part in this phenomenon, the exact cause is not known. Try to get as much rest as possible, eat healthily and do your best to go outside and get a bit of exercise whenever the opportunity arises. Our all-herbal MindSoothe Capsules and Triple Complex Mood Tonic are both excellent natural remedies to prevent and assist in the treatment of postnatal depression and moodiness.

If these feelings do not respond to the above suggestions within about 2 - 4 weeks, if you begin to feel suicidal or are at all concerned in any way, please speak to your health care provider. Postpartum depression is a treatable condition and much more common than most women realize.

Look out for the following symptoms and call your health care provider if you develop any of them as this may indicate the development of a complication.
• Fever
• Increasing pain in the days or weeks following delivery
• Soaking through more than one sanitary pad or tampon per hour
• Foul-smelling vaginal discharge
• Tender, warm or reddened breasts
• Feeling suicidal or experiencing recurring thoughts of wanting to hurt yourself or your baby

Don't try to be a super-woman! Remember that caring for and raising a child was never meant to be just one person's responsibility. Accept help from your friends and family- whether it is help with the chores or watching the baby, this will help to free up a little of your time and energy.

Try to get as much rest as possible by sleeping when your baby is taking a nap. Make resting your priority and don't worry too much about housework at this stage. Incorporate some exercise and gentle stretching into your daily routine. Don't worry though: carrying your baby around and taking him/her for a walk in the pram certainly counts as exercise

Pay attention to your diet and nutrition levels, especially if you are breastfeeding. Eat plenty of fresh, nutritious and raw fruit and vegetables, sufficient good quality protein and healthy non-processed carbohydrates. Don't forget to drink at least 8 glasses of preferably filtered or natural spring water daily. Avoid caffeine, chocolate, excess sugar and alcohol.
