  1. TOP 10 SUPERFOODS TO INCREASE MILK SUPPLY If you worried about not being able to supply your child with enough milk, do not worry as you are not the only mother who goes through this thought. Particularly for first-time mothers, breastfeeding can be hard and then there is the constant worry about the milk production. There are many ways that you can boost the production of milk in your body, and one of the best ways to do so is by maintaining a healthy diet..

  2. 1.OATMEAL One of the best foods that increase breast milk, oatmeal is filled with fiber and is completely natural, so consuming it will not cause you or your child any harm. Not only will oatmeal keep you full for a longer period, but it will also help increase your milk supply. 2.ALMONDS Almonds make for a great source of protein and are the best form of calcium you can take, besides dairy. Do keep in mind that since you are producing milk, the calcium that you intake will be used for the production of milk and passed on to the baby, which will leave microscopic amounts for your body.

  3. 3.APRICOTS If you are looking for a great snack that will also provide you and the baby all the essential nutrients, you might want to consider eating apricots. These fruits are filled with all the essential nutrients along with vitamin C and A, potassium, and fiber. Canned apricots will not have a great impact on you, so it is best that you consume full and ripe apricots or even dried ones. 4.SALMON Fish is one of the best proteins you can add to your diet. Not only will it make for a great meal, but it will also help Boost your milk supply. A fish also contains high levels of DHA, which is required by your child for the development of their nervous system. Hence, you can pack your freezer with lots of fish and make it a part of your everyday meals.

  4. 5.YOGURT Stock up your fridge with yogurt and eat it every chance you get as it is one of the best foods you can have that will increase your Blood supply. Yogurt is high in protein and calcium, so it makes a good product to use. One thing that you will need to take note of is that if your child is lactose intolerant, you will need to stay away from all types of dairy products until your child is off breastfeeding. This is because the milk will be affected by the product and will cause trouble for the baby. 6.BEANS Another great food filled with protein and iron, beans can have a positive impact on your digestive system. You can consume all or any types of beans you want that are good for you. One primary concern that you have with the consumption of beans is the gas build-up they cause.

  5. 7.SPINACH Though we have listed spinach as a Superfood, pretty much all vegetables that are dark green and leafy will make an excellent source of nutrients, spinach adding the extra kick. These greens are filled with all the essential nutrients. 8.DATES Dates are great to eat even if you are not pregnant. They are known for the different benefits they provide, one of which is improving the production of your milk as they contain a nutrient called prolactin which helps in the production of milk.

  6. 9.SESAME SEEDS Sesame seeds are filled with calcium and make a great source of iron, copper, magnesium, fiber and a few more nutrients. You can consume them with your regular meals, and they will be beneficial for your milk production. 10.BROWN RICE Brown rice is packed with more nutrients and essentials than white rice and is best for you if you are on a diet.
