Are pre-packaged confinement herb soup safe for breastfeeding?

I just ordered a 30-day confinement herbs soup package from laobanniang as prep for my confinement. Informed my mum and she claims that I should not have bought them as these confinement soup packs include a lot of herbs and some of them are unsafe for consumption during breastfeeding. Zzzz. Is there any truth in this or is she just scaring me for nothing?

The prepackaged herbs by reputable companies marketed for confinement usually already takes into account breastfeeding mothers. It’s only if you approach the tcm halls and ask to pack without informing them of this need, then they might not pack the right herbs.
