    I was warned by a few midwives not to drink peppermint tea if breastfeeding. Apparently the menthol decreases milk supply and may cause stomach upsets for the baby. However, I did read somewhere that it is okay, as long as you keep an eye on your supply and don't drink gallons of it. Personally, I didn't drink it as the midwived seemed pretty serious about it.
