How Can I Increase Breast Milk ?
Increasing the amount of breast milk available for your baby can be a stressful decision for cautious mothers, mainly because we know whatever goes into the mom's system goes into the baby's. There are a number of herbs that are considered to be galactagogues, which translated into real people talk means they encourage the flow of breast milk. Those considered the safest and most effective include the addition of 3 to 4 drops of fennel extract to a liquid, which you then drink 3-4 times daily; or an infusion of 2 teaspoons of dill seeds to 8 ounces of water, steeped for 10-15 minutes - drink 4 ounces at a time 2-3 times a day. These both also act as an antispasmodic to help calm colic pain. However, just to put your mind at ease, always consult your health care practitioner before using any herbal preparation if you are breast-feeding.
