First off, if you do have a low milk supply or if you are having difficulties nursing make sure to check out What to Do When Your Baby Doesn’t Breastfeed along with KellyMom’s How Does Milk Production Work? And Increasing Low Milk Supply. For me, pumping really helped maintain my supply while we struggled with nursing, as did eating foods known to positively affect lactation.
But after awhile I got really sick of eating lactation cookies for every meal…and you will do.
If I really wanted to get back on a healthy diet while also breastfeed and attempt to increase my breastmilk supply, I needed to eat a more well-rounded mix of foods high in lactation-inducing properties.
But I didn’t have time to cook…or shop…or meal plan.
I’m hoping you can benefit from my experience and use this meal plan to make a lactation diet easier for you. The meals are pretty easy and even easier to prep in advance. Note: This is where dad comes in! I mean, you can’t really screw up tossing ingredients into a mason jar, right?
This one week milk supply boosting meal plan focuses on foods shown to help aid in lactation – whether that be reducing stress or inflammation or kickstarting the milk-making process – so your body can get doing what it needs to do!
