Lacation Recipes are a great way to boost your milk supply – and eat something healthy and wholesome!
While some mums have more than enough breastmilk to go around, others struggle with milk supply.
There are a number of reasons that a new mum’s milk supply might be low, so it’s important to see your doctor make sure there’s nothing medically wrong. But once you’ve been given the all-clear, many mums find themselves looking for alternative treatments, like lactation recipes. Lactation recipes are foods that help to increase your breastmilk supply through certain ingredients, particularly flaxseed, brewer’s yeast and old-fashioned oats.
There are some great recipes out there, so we thought we’d bring together some of the best ones. These yummy things aren’t just great for the milk supply, they’re wonderful snacks for a tired Mumma as well!

Not only are they great to make when you’re a new mum, they’re also a wonderful present for new mums, who are struggling or overwhelmed by their new lives.
