15 Delicious New Mum Recipes To Boost Your Milk Supply!

Breastfeeding can be a wonderful experience if you choose to embark on it, but that doesn’t mean that it goes easy for everyone.

While some mum’s have more than enough milk to go around, others struggle with milk supply.

15 Delicious New Mum Recipes To Boost Your Milk Supply!

There are a number of reasons that a new mum’s milk supply might be low, so it’s important to see your doctor to make sure there’s nothing medically wrong. But once you’ve been given the all-clear, many mums find themselves looking for alternative treatments, like lactation foods. Lactation foods are foods that help to increase the milk supply through certain ingredients, particularly flaxseed, brewer’s yeast and old-fashioned oats.

There are some great recipes out there, so we thought we’d bring together some of the best ones. These yummy things aren’t just great for the milk supply, they’re wonderful snacks for a tired mumma as well!
