The Nursing Mother's Diet

Nourish Your Body and Your Baby

By Sylvia Brown and Mary Dowd Struck

Pages:  1  2  3  4  

There exist nutritional supplements that are said to increase milk production. Their effects have not been proven scientifically, but they have a placebo (psychological) effect. Be careful, some of these supplements have a very high sugar content and are therefore high in calories. Also, many midwives will tell you that fennel and beer increase milk production, and that parsley stops it.
