✨Let’s Talk About Galactagogues✨
Because the internet will have you buying every cookie, tea, tincture, and capsule in a 2am feeding spiral. 🫠
Galactagogues are foods, herbs, or medications that may help support milk production for some parents. Think things like:
🌿 Moringa
🌾 Oats
💊 Prescription medications
But here’s the part that gets skipped too often:
Galactagogues are supportive tools, not magic fixes.
If milk removal isn’t effective or frequent enough, adding supplements without addressing the root issue can feel like pouring water into a bucket with a hole in it. Sometimes low supply is connected to:
▫️Latch or transfer concerns
▫️Pumping issues or incorrect fl**ge sizing
▫️Hormonal or medical factors
▫️Feeding schedules that aren’t sustainable
▫️Stress, exhaustion, or inadequate support
And sometimes? The supplement itself causes side effects or makes things worse. 🌪️
Before spending a small fortune on lactation snacks that taste like sweetened mulch bars, it’s worth taking a step back and looking at the full picture. 🤍
The goal isn’t just “more milk.”
The goal is a feeding plan that actually works for you and your baby.
