I felt like I’d finally gotten the hang of breastfeeding: the latch was good, my supply regulated, and my baby was starting to sleep through the night. I figured as long as I stayed hydrated, we’d be golden. ☀️
Then it happened: the dreaded 4-month sleep regression, which brought sleepless nights, cluster feeding, and lots of fussiness. My stress, fatigue, and anxiety increased, and my supply took a hit—I felt like I couldn’t properly keep up.
I realized a little extra help was very much needed, and I discovered Needed’s Lactation Support Plan. Here’s my honest review:
I’m experiencing less afternoon energy crashes when I take the Collagen Protein
I always enjoy a soothing cup of coffee during my baby’s first nap of the day, which I’ve been supplementing with the Prenatal Collagen Protein. The protein itself is a super fine, unflavored powder that dissolves easily and leaves no grittiness or aftertaste (unlike others I’ve tried).
I find it hard to get enough protein in my diet, so I love that this tiny change adds 15g of protein into my morning routine. I’ve noticed more sustained energy throughout the day—no more impromptu naps for mom!
I also like that it is made of ethically sourced, pure hydrolyzed bovine collagen, so you know exactly what you’re consuming, with no extra additives.
The Hydration Support quenches my seemingly unquenchable thirst
If you’ve ever produced breastmilk for your baby, you know it feels like you’re CONSTANTLY thirsty and reaching for a glass of water. This electrolyte-packed water enhancer helps me feel hydrated for longer, and it’s so refreshing without being too sweet—my favorite is the lime flavor! It’s sweetened naturally with real fruit so there is no artificial sweetener taste to it.
The Stress Support's botanical blend has alleviated my brain fog, and the ingredients support milk supply
In the evenings, I’ve been taking the Stress Support capsules with my snack (I always need something sweet after dinner). It’s a clinical-strength blend of botanicals typically used in herbal medicine, like ashwagandha, schizandra berry, Rhodiola, Shatavari, holy basil, and milky oat straw.
I researched these ingredients A LOT and found out that together, they support hormone balance, mood, and energy utilization. Since adding these to my routine, I feel some of my brain fog has lifted and I’m not as on edge. I am looking forward to long-term results with consistent usage.
My official verdict after trying Needed’s Lactation Support Plan:
What’s more to love about Needed?
- Third-party tested for safety and quality
- Backed by over 4,000 health practitioners
- Auto-shipped for free every month (amazing for busy mamas!)
- The Lactation Support Plan provides access to a nutritionist consultation to learn how to integrate the products into your routine
I am so glad I gave Needed’s Lactation Support Plan, which costs $119, a try. I have been pleasantly surprised at how these 3 small additions to my daily routine have given me, and my supply, a much-needed boost so that I can be the best mom I can be for my little one.
