Breast milk is the most important and primary source of nutrition a mother can give her newborn baby. However, ensuring you supply your baby with sufficient breast milk while trying to lose weight at the same time, can be overwhelming for any mother.
Breast milk is loaded with disease-fighting components which protect your baby from illness. Thus, following the right kind of diet is essential to help nourish your baby during his infancy stage. Nourishing your body with the right amount of nutrients not only ensures a healthy milk supply for your child, but also helps keep your weight in check.

Certain foods are high in galactagogues, which naturally enhance the production of breast milk in lactating mothers. If you feel that your milk supply is not as much as it should be, simply include the below-mentioned foods into your daily diet. They will help boost lactation naturally & ensure your baby gets sufficient nutrition to grow up healthy & strong!
Myth – Avoid consuming fruits and cruciferous vegetables because they lead to health problems for your baby
Truth – The food you consume during your lactation period can alter your breast milk taste and supply. However, most babies have no problems with cruciferous vegetables in their mothers’ diet. It is likely that your baby may suffer from gas problems whether you include cruciferous vegetables in your diet or not. Thus, this is no reason to cut out essential nutrients from your diet. Cruciferous vegetables are high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals which are essential for the healthy growth of your baby.
