Food to eat to increase milk supply
Posted by Jamu Massage on May 06, 2008Many of my clients ask me 'What should I eat to have better milk supply as these few days my supply droped a lot'.
My advise to breast feeding moms is to have adequate rest. I know it's easier said than done but try to get some sleep when your baby is sleeping as it will affect your milk supply.
Talking about food, eating fish, spinach, apples and papaya soup with fish and a vegetable called 'Pengaga' will be good to produce a better milk supply.
I will strongly recommend 'Pengaga' as I have recommended to many of my clients and out of 15 clients, 10 clients find and increase their milk supply.
'Pengaga' only can be found in some markets like Geylang Market, Yishun and Woodlands.
How to eat it? You just need to stir fry with garlic and small ikan bilis. You need to eat at least 3 times a week.
I have attached the picture of 'Pengaga' for those who have not seen it before.

milk supply
during my confinement, i was told not to drink too much water. Contrary, i read in the book that breastfeeding is a thirsty job and need at least 8 glass of water. Sad to say, I try to get as much rest as possible but the milk supply still cannot meet my baby's demand.
