Mamatini

mamatiniMamatini. The name sounds like a product that should be front and center in the upcoming Sex and the City 2 movie, now that at least two of the fab four (maybe more?) have kids.

Mamatini is a doctor-designed drink for breastfeeding women. Think of it as a healthy sports drink for the lactating crowd. It’s loaded with vitamins and only 20 calories. Mamatini contains herbs - fenugreek, fennel and ginger - to stimulate milk production and increase energy levels. Women have used fenugreek for centuries to cope with breastfeeding issues, and the herb, a member of the peanut family, is a staple in Indian curries.

Mamatini is the brainchild of former venture capitalist and mother of three Erica Duignan Minnihan. Minnihan was sick of brewing fenugreek tea at all hours of the night and decided to collaborate with her kids’ pediatrician (her mother!) to develop a ready-made drink that would make postpartum life just a tad better. This “ginger-mint herbal infusion” beverage is sweetened with a touch of cane sugar.

It bridges the gap until you’re ready to go back to cosmos.
