Week three was the hardest
Nobody tells you about week three. I started this at week four and by week six the crying-for-no-reason had mostly stopped. Not gone. Mostly. That was enough.
The 3am wired feeling faded
I'd feed her, put her down, and lie there buzzing. First week on this I noticed I was actually drifting back off. The mood part came later, but the nights came first.
Give it the full month
Week one, nothing obvious. Week three I caught myself laughing at something my husband said and realized I hadn't in a while. Don't judge it on day five.
Asked my midwife first
I showed her the label before I took anything and she had no concerns. That was the reassurance I needed.
Capsules are on the bigger side
One star off because they're a proper swallow and I need a full glass of water. Otherwise I feel steadier than I have since she arrived, and my husband noticed before I did.
The fog thinned out
I kept losing words mid-sentence. Around week four it got easier to finish a thought. I don't know which ingredient did that and honestly I don't care.
Snapping less at everyone
I hated who I was being to my toddler. Six weeks in, the short fuse is longer. He gets more of me now, and so does the baby.
Still nursing, no issues
I was nervous about taking anything while breastfeeding. No hormones, no melatonin, nothing I had to stop. Two capsules with breakfast and that's it.
Bought it for my daughter
She had her first in June and wasn't herself. I ordered this after reading the studies. She's on her second bottle and sounds like my girl again on the phone.
Not a miracle, just steadier
I still have hard days. Newborn life is hard. But the bottom isn't as low and I bounce back faster. That's exactly what I wanted from it.
Husband here
My wife wouldn't write this so I am. She's laughing again. She's present. I can't tell you how much is this and how much is time, but she won't let me cancel the subscription.
No drowsiness at all
I was worried the lemon balm would knock me out and I'd sleep through the baby. Nope. Calmer, not sleepy. I still hear every sound.
Second baby, wish I'd had it for the first
The first time I just pushed through and it was miserable. This time I started it the day I got home from the hospital. Night and day.
Easy to remember
Everything else in my life fell apart schedule-wise. Two capsules next to the coffee maker survived. That's the whole reason I stuck with it.
Skeptical, then reordered
I don't buy supplements. My sister sent me a bottle. I'm on bottle three now and I'm the one recommending it. Still annoyed about it.
Mornings stopped feeling like a wall
I used to wake up already dreading the day. Somewhere in week three that lifted. Not a burst of energy, just not dread.
Stacked it with my prenatal
Took it alongside my prenatal with no overlap to worry about. My doctor was fine with the combination. Felt more like myself by week five.
Noticed when I ran out
Nothing dramatic while I was on it. Then I ran out for ten days and the tears came back. Reordered the same night.
A real person answered
Had a question about taking it with my iron. Emailed at 11pm, real reply by morning, told me to check with my doctor and explained why. Product's good too.
Subscription was the right call
It shows up, I take it, I don't think about it. With a newborn, not thinking about one more thing is the whole point.
Bottle three before I wrote this
Bought it, didn't review. Reordered, didn't review. Bottle three now, so I figured I owed them one. Same steady result every month.
