Home remedies to Improve Lactation & Breast feeding

My experiences on improving milk prodution during breast feeding.

Breast feed your child for at least minimum six months.
Here are certain home remedies which have helped me improve Lactation & breat feed my baby.

1) Drink 3-4 litres of water daily....very very important
Your body needs lots of fluids during breast- feeding.
2)Have half a litre to one litre of milk daily..
There is One Ayurvedic powder available called SATAVARI- to be taken with milk.....creats wonders to milk secretion.
3)Eat dry grated coconut around 100 gms daily. Even fresh grated coconut is helpful.
4)Eat Carom seeds( Hindi name- Ajwain) around 1-2 teaspoon after every meal.Mildly Roast the carom seeds bafore eating.....this helps to improve the milk secretion and in addition prevents the baby from gastric problems.
5)Eat a bowl of cracked Wheat (Hindi name- Daliya) daily....you can mix milk & sugar to make a desert out of the Daliya or make any spicy recipe as per your choice.
6)Have enough Ghee with your food around 5 tablespoons daily.
7)Fenugreek seeds ( Hindi name- Methi Seeds) should be consumed daily....in the form of sprouted seeds or you can make vegetable or some sweet item by mixing them with rice & jaggery .
8)Juice of Neem Leaves & Neem Stem consumed every morning on empty stomach also helps.
9)Make ladoos by mixing Gum( Marathi name- Dink), wheat flour & dry fruits..eat one every morning
10)For non- vegetarians, you can have one Egg daily & chicken or paya soup.
If you love Fish eat fishes with shells (Mussels)
11)Continue with the prenatal tablets or Calcium/Iron Supplements

*Please do not keep your stomach empty when breast feeding...The Rule is " The More Healthy & Full the Mother eats The More Lactation Improves"
*The Baby has only one source of nutition and that is YOU!!!This is just the extension of your pregnency
