What's the story

For breastfeeding mothers, ensuring a sufficient milk supply is vital for their baby's well-being and development.

Fortunately, certain foods, called galactagogues, have the ability to naturally boost milk production.

This article lists five Indian breakfast options that are not only tasty but also effective in enhancing milk supply for breastfeeding mothers.

Fenugreek dosa

Fenugreek flavored dosa

Methi (fenugreek) seeds are powerful galactagogues that have been used traditionally for hundreds of years to promote milk production in nursing mothers.

Adding these seeds to your dosa batter not only boosts the nutritional profile but also imparts a distinctive flavor to this South Indian classic.

A methi-infused dosa served with coconut chutney and sambar makes for a delicious, nutritious, and lactation-friendly start to your day.

This power-packed combo will not only help you with lactation but also supply essential vitamins and minerals needed for postpartum recovery.

Garlic is a potent galactagogue that has been used for centuries to increase milk supply in nursing mothers.

By sauteing it with poha (flattened rice), you can infuse your morning meal with both flavor and lactation benefits.

Adding veggies like peas, carrots, or paneer (cottage cheese) further enhances the nutritional profile of garlic poha, providing the energy you need to care for your little one.
