increasing milk supply
The only food which has actually been shown to increase milk supply is Hilbe ( fennugrek).
Now, you have to ask yourself why do you have to increase your milk supply? If you do not have a good milk supply, it means that the baby is not removing the milk from the breast....what causes you to make milk is either the baby removes the milk from the breast by latching well on the breast, feeding as long as he wants from both breasts each feed. or pumping milk to feed the baby with a hospital grade pump.
If you have a low milk supply, you should meet with a yoetset hanaka IBCLC to see what the problem is.
If your baby is not feeding well and you take something to increase your milk, the result will be godesh and the problems related to over full breasts.
So, start at the root of the problem!
By the way, over use of fennel has been shown to cause possible brain damage in infants, and should be avoided in large amounts!
