Jungle Juice for Breastfeeding – Hydrate & Boost Milk Supply

If you’re struggling to keep up with your baby’s growing appetite, you’re not alone. Many new moms wonder if there’s anything they can do to naturally increase their milk supply. That’s where Jungle Juice comes in.

This drink has gained popularity in mom circles for good reason. It’s easy to make, refreshing to drink, and filled with ingredients that can support hydration, energy, and milk production. While Jungle Juice isn’t a miracle fix, many breastfeeding moms swear by it as part of their daily routine.

Let’s walk through what it is, how to make it, and how it might help.

What Is Jungle Juice?

Jungle Juice is a homemade drink mix designed to support breastfeeding moms—especially in the early days when your baby is feeding around the clock and you’re feeling drained.

Some moms drink it to stay hydrated, others to get a little energy boost, and many believe that it gives their milk supply a gentle push in the right direction.

The ingredients are carefully chosen to hydrate your body, support hormonal balance, boost supply, and help reduce the stress that can affect breastfeeding.

Jungle Juice Recipe (Breastfeeding Edition)

Ingredients

• 1.5 liters of water (500 ml chilled + 1 liter to be boiled)
• 2–3 chamomile tea bags (naturally caffeine-free)
• 500 ml coconut water
• 1 sachet of Rehidrat (or similar no-sugar electrolyte mix)
• 30 ml of Blackthorn Berry Elixir
• 10–15 drops of Rescue Remedy

Instructions

1. Boil 1 liter of water and steep the chamomile tea bags. Let it cool, then remove the tea bags.
2. Add the chilled 500 ml water and your coconut water.
3. Stir in the Rehidrat, Blackthorn Elixir, and Rescue Remedy.
4. Pour into a jug or bottle and sip throughout the day. Many moms drink a glass every time they breastfeed.

How Does Jungle Juice Support Breastfeeding?

Here’s a quick breakdown of what each ingredient brings to the table:

• Chamomile Tea: Chamomile tea is naturally caffeine‑free, soothing, and has traditionally been used by breastfeeding moms to help encourage milk flow. It is also well-documented to reduce stress. If you use it, choose a high‑quality pure chamomile tea and monitor how both you and your baby respond.
• Coconut Water: Adds natural sugars and electrolytes to keep you energized and hydrated. Coconut water alone is a great low-sugar lactogenic drink.
• Rehidrat: Helps replace essential salts and fluids—key when you’re nursing and losing fluids daily.
• Blackthorn Berry Elixir: A traditional herbal tonic believed to support energy levels, and hormonal health (Weleda, 2020).
• Rescue Remedy: A blend of flower essences used to help reduce stress and promote calm—important for milk letdown.

Does It Really Boost Milk Supply?

Breastfeeding relies heavily on hydration, energy, and stress management. If Jungle Juice helps you stay hydrated, feel less depleted, and reduce stress, it can absolutely support your breastfeeding journey.

Some of the ingredients, like the Blackthorn Berry Elixir, coconut water, and chamomile, are touted as galactagogues (milk-boosting agents), though evidence is mostly traditional or anecdotal. What matters more is how you feel drinking it—and many moms say it makes a real difference.

Realistic Expectations and Tips

Here’s what to keep in mind:

• Jungle Juice works best alongside regular breastfeeding or pumping. Emptying your breasts often is what truly signals your body to make more milk.
• It’s a tool, not a treatment. If you’re facing low milk supply, painful nursing, or latching issues, talk to a lactation consultant.

Final Thoughts

Trying to keep up with your baby’s needs can be overwhelming. Jungle Juice isn’t magic, but it might be the little lift you need—especially in those exhausting early weeks. If it helps you feel more hydrated, calm, and supported while you’re nursing, that’s already a win.

If you’re curious, try making a batch. Sip it during feeds, see how your body responds, and always check in with a lactation expert if you need extra help.

You’re doing a great job.
