About “Lactation” Foods ♡
Foods such as oats and flaxseed are commonly included in recipes marketed to breastfeeding moms, but no single smoothie or ingredient can guarantee an increase in milk supply. Overall calorie intake, hydration, frequent and effective milk removal, medical factors, and individual physiology all matter.
If you are concerned about milk supply, infant weight gain, or feeding, consider speaking with your healthcare provider, pediatrician, or an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).
