Keep your supply up with these natural remedies. I was able to avoid having to pump and breastfeed for up to 18 months by intentionally using these remedies within my day. Use it as a tea, in a smoothie, or sprinkle over your food when cooking. I am not a doctor or certified practitioner. Just sharing my personal experiences of what has worked best for me. As always please consult a herbalist or holistic doctor who is trained in herbs/ natural remedies.
Chayote: is used in the Carribbean culture to help produce breast milk and is packed full with vitamins & minerals.
– While pregnant this squash like fruit helps maintain a healthy blood pressure from the potassium & helps clean the blood.
– The folic acid helps prevent birth defects and birth weight.
– Vitamin K helps to clot the blood. This is very important during labor.
– Vitamin C is great for the immune system.
Brewer’s Yeast: I would add this to my smoothies or add it in some warm milk with vanilla. It not only helps produce milk but makes you feel more energized. As a new mom it’d hard finding things to combat that tired feeling.
– Helps balance blood sugar levels
– Regulates those roller coaster hormones and is a natural immune booster for you and baby – – Has vitamins high in iron, b6, b12, zinc, and chromium.
Alfalfa: best used as a dry herb form not raw. This herb in small amounts when sprinkled on to food or added to a smoothie in powder form is a known superfood and has been used for breastfeeding moms for centuries.
– It has high amounts of vitamin K
– Helps with overall digestion
– Reduces inflammation
– Helps maintain healthy blood sugar & pressure.
Don’t over do it with this one being that it can cause diarrhea in large amounts. A little goes a long way when used in moderation.
