[FONT="]most tonics contain alcohol... unsuitable for breastfeeding mothers. my mother-in-law gave me this [/FONT][FONT="]"waist tonic" during my confinement, think the brand is huiji. it doesnt contain alcohol and is vegetarian also. i regained my energy fairly quickly. =)

Hmmm.. I'm not sure about DOM... but my MIL gave me the Huiji Waist tonic from day one. I took it coz it is made from all-natural herbs and tonics and it does not contain alchohol... I am breastfeeding too mah.. So can safely take anytime... my MIL even add them into food!Oh YES!!! I can drink one..
As I drank Dome only at night, thus I just discard whatever I have over the night.. Then I bf all DAY long lor..ancing_wub:

hi all,
hmmm, the huiji waist tonic is very good for mothers like us, and u become very refresh the next morning if u take 1 b4 you slp.
for other confinement food, can try martel boil with kampong drumstick for 4 hours, the "jiu jing' no more but still "bu" one.
DOM is not that good thoug. . . for BF and during confinement, take as much as milo and the logan water as u can...
