We come to know about the effects of nutrition when it comes to lactation. It is essential to have the nutrients necessary to produce healthy milk.

New mothers often worry whether they are producing sufficient breast milk or not. There is no way to measure unless you begin to pump and measure your supply. Even then, does your milk supply contain everything that your baby needs? There really is no way to know.

If your baby is healthy and growing well, you are mostly doing just fine. But if that’s not the case, you need to examine your diet and health conditions. Sometimes, insufficient breast stimulation or hormonal imbalances can lead to low breast milk supply.

Breast milk production or lactation is a biological process that begins during pregnancy, with the development of mammary glands and ducts.  After delivering a child, hormonal changes, primarily driven by prolactin and oxytocin, trigger the initiation of milk production.

Some herbs can help with the production of prolactin and oxytocin to initiate milk production. One example of such an herb is Blessed Thistle. It is believed to increase the hormones prolactin (which boosts the milk supply) and oxytocin (which enables to release of milk from the nipples).  Another example would be Dill. Our pituitary gland releases a hormone prolactin which is the primary factor responsible for breast milk supply. Zinc plays a vital role in releasing this hormone. Lack of zinc can reduce the release of prolactin hampering the production of breast milk. Dill being enriched in zinc works wonders on mammary glands and helps in releasing prolactin, hence producing more milk.

Focus on making healthy choices to help fuel your milk production. Choose protein-rich foods, such as lean meat, eggs, dairy, beans, lentils and seafood low in mercury. Choose a variety of whole grains as well as fruits and vegetables.

Peppermint, Parsley, and Sage

For instance, eating a lot of parsley could curb lactation. And too much sage and peppermint may cut your milk supply. For some nursing moms, even peppermint-flavored toothpaste and candies are a problem.

Apricots and dates

Eating apricots and dates can increase prolactin, which is the hormone that tells your body to produce milk. Apricots contain essential nutrients such as dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C and potassium. Fresh is always better than canned.

It can almost always be reversed. Also remember that just because you had low milk supply in your first breastfeeding experience, it doesn’t mean a subsequent lactation will also be a struggle. The development of all that breast tissue first time round often helps, in addition to a healthy diet.
