What i eat in a day as a breastfeeding mom 🍼🐮

Food is the best supplement for milk supply!! ❤️

A few tips for increasing/keeping your milk supply:

✨ The chamomile tea + mother's milk tea - my milk supply dropped around 4 months pp so bad that I would barely pump 2oz ( coming from a 5-6oz every pumping session ) so I decided to try and mix these two and OH MY GOD, my milk supply came back in 3 days!! 🥹

✨ A lot a lot of oatmeal!!! Oatmeal pies are a life saver when you're on the go/don't feel like making your oatmeal

✨ Also a lot of water 🧊

✨ Peanut butter it's great for increasing your supply because of the protein 🥜

✨ Eating 2-3 times a day + snacking throughout the day 🍭🍬

What's working for you moms?

... Read moreNutrition plays a key role in maintaining a healthy milk supply for breastfeeding moms. Consuming nutrient-rich foods can enhance lactation and ensure both mother and baby receive optimal nourishment. Incorporate foods rich in protein, like peanut butter and eggs, and stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Oatmeal is known for its benefits in boosting milk production, making it an ideal choice for breakfast or snacks throughout the day. You might also find that herbal teas, such as chamomile and mother's milk tea, can be effective in stimulating milk supply. Each mother’s experience is unique, so it’s important to share and discuss various strategies that work for you. Join conversations in communities focused on breastfeeding to find support and new ideas. Remember, every day is an opportunity to nourish not just your baby but also yourself!

I never thought to mix both teas i only ever drink them separately. Will definitely have to try that. What’s the brand of the oatmeal pies?

The ferrous solvate, what is that for? My doctor prescribed it to me, I haven’t taken it. I have noticed a significant decrease in my supply I’m desperate to get it back up and enough to exclusively breastfeed my baby girl. I’m only a few weeks postpartum.
