Boost your milk supply – breastfeeding lactation smoothie.

There is no doubt about it – breastfeeding is hard work. ! I know from experience that I used to get to around 4pm and my milk supply would start dwindling just before the dreaded 5pm “witching hour” of non stop feeding began.

After breastfeeding all my 3 babies I found the following to be key to boosting my breastmilk supply :

• Lots of healthy fat
• Lots of protein – did you know you need 15% more protein daily during and after pregnancy ? Read more here.
• Lactogenic foods (super foods that increase your supply)
• Hydration
• Sleep …yep I know we are all dreaming of it !
• Good quality supplements

In the haze of exhaustion with a newborn. I found one of the easiest ways to meet all of the above requirements was to regularly make myself a super delicious and nutritious milk supply boosting smoothie !

Breastfeeding / Lactation Smoothie Recipe

• 1 small frozen banana or 1/2 cup of organic frozen berries.
