Mothers of premature babies often have problems in breastfeeding and this study was designed to investigate if such herbal teas has any effect on the increasing of breast milk in mothers of premature babies. We also investigated whether a sleep-induced herbal tea (?yi Geceler Çayı ®) was effective in regulating the sleep of these mothers. Plain water was used as placebo. Ninety-one mothers were studied. After obtaining informed consent and relevant information, the first group of mothers (n=30) received Still-tee ®, the second group of mothers (n=30) received sleep-inducer tea (?yi Geceler Çayı ®), and the third group of mothers (n=31) received plain water. All mothers’ intake of fluid were similar and sufficent. The amount of breast milk in the first group increased significantly (172, 247, 373 ml respectively) on the 3rd and 7th days of study. The duration of sleep in the second group of mothers increased significantly (7.4, 8.1, 8.9 hours respectively) on the 3rd and 7th days of study. It was concluded that Still-tea ® herbal tea was effective in increasing the amount of human milk, whereas sleep-inducer herbal tea (?yi Geceler Çayı ®) was also effective in increasing the duration of sleep in mothers of premature babies
