“Am I producing enough breast milk for my baby?” This question must have spun the minds of many worried mothers who can’t figure out how well they’re nourishing their babies. And while it’s every mom’s best intention to breastfeed, no one truly understands the struggle and guilt of having low milk supply.
If this resonates with you, don’t worry. You’re definitely not alone. According to a Pediatrics study, as much as 92% of mothers worry about their milk supply. But it’s not time to throw in your towels yet, mommies! Lactation experts stand by good breastfeeding habits, such as frequent feedings and proper latching, as well as some sweet, delicious, and very nutritious treats to help you boost your milk supply.
Pump Up Your Milk Supply With Galactagogues
It might sound a little intimidating, but galactagogues are actually just herbs and nutrients that help get your milk flowing. The science behind it is still relatively unclear, but a few studies proposed that it may have an impact on your breastfeeding hormones. Nevertheless, many anecdotal testimonies continue to back up its claims and truly swear by it. No wonder it’s growing quite a strong following online!
Whole grain oats, flaxseeds, brewer’s yeast, fenugreek, fennel, and alfalfa are just a few of the known galactagogues in the market. They are sold in many forms like powders or supplements. However, the best-selling kind comes in a variety of ready-to-eat lactation snacks. Here are a few of the most popular ingredients in lactation snacks and how they help you pump out more milk:
- Brewer’s Yeasts. An ingredient used in the production of beer and bread, this one-celled fungus is loaded with B vitamins, chromium, selenium, iron, and protein which collectively work to support healthy lactation.
- Flaxseeds. Loaded with fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, flaxseeds also contain a chock-full of phytoestrogens (estrogen-like hormones) which can influence breast milk production.
- Wholegrain Oats. Oats are one of the most nutrient-dense foods as they contain high amounts of iron, zinc, manganese, and calcium. Just like flaxseeds, they also contain milk-enhancing nutrients like phytoestrogens and saponins.
