What's important for you?

Breastfeeding your baby consistently is the best way to increase your milk supply. There are foods, spices and herbs that contain specific nutrients that support lactation. In our BoostMyMilk series, we have specially curated a list of lactogenic foods (galactagogues) such as almonds, walnuts, fennel, garlic, brewers’ yeast, chia seeds, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, almond oil, medjool dates, oats etc. 

 

Omega 3 is one of the essential fatty acids that is crucial for brain and eye development. Studies have shown that supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids during pregnancy may be beneficial for cognitive development in children. 

 

protein Protein is the nutrient that serves as your tissue’s building blocks and fosters growth. Both baby and yourself require protein to build, repair and maintain your muscles, tissue, skin and organs. During lactation, your body uses protein to produce breast milk and to sustain your growing baby. It helps your baby grow new cells in his organs, muscles and brain. You need extra 20-25g protein per day. 

 

 

plant based protein from nuts Consumption Methodology for Breastfeeding/nursing Mummies   Studies have associated plant-based diets with healthy weight maintenance, lower risk of developing chronic diseases including diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol as well as cancer prevention. The positive health benefits of plant foods are linked to dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals content. 

 

High-fiber diets are associated with good bacteria growth in the gut that could help prevent non-communicable chronic diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, allergies, and asthma. Sources of fiber include wholegrains (brown rice, oats, whole wheat, rye), legumes (beans, lentils, chickpeas), nuts and a variety of fruits and vegetables. Besides high in fiber, oats also help in milk production.

 

Adequate fluid intake is also important to ensure adequate supply of breast milk because breast milk consists of more than 80% of water. You need at least 1.5-2L per day to produce sufficient breast milk. The best is water, you can include milk, juices, and soups as part of your fluid intake.

I see 30-50 ml increase on each side. I usually get 100-120 ml on left, 150 ml on right on a 30 minutes pump session. - Jasmine 

I have been happy with the results thus far. I am such an under supplier, previously only able to pump out maximum 40-50 ml (both sides combine). But recently there’s a total increase of 20-40 ml each pump session. Maximum is 90ml. Slowly but surely seeing the progress. - Rasyiqah

Recommended serving per day:

2NUTGUYS products are functional foods. You can consume as and when you deem as required, we are not medication. For mummies who pay attention to calorie consumption, you may plan your meals using the calorie information we have provided. You need additional energy to breastfeed/nurse your baby, however excess calories will be stored as fats.

 

Secondly, understand the amount of breastmilk you would like to produce (let’s call it the “required amount”). If you are way below the required amount, you may consider consuming more than what we have recommended. Once you have increased the level of your breast milk, you can regulate the intake accordingly.

Our Roasted Almom Milk has a high viscosity, it is produced this way intentionally. Our recipe has a high almond to water ratio (we could not disclose as it is part of our recipe) while most off-the shelf almond milk has only 2-3% almond, hence it has high viscosity.

Almonds are galactagogues. We do not recommend you to dilute the Roasted Almom Milk. By diluting it, it means you are consuming lesser galactagogues, which makes it less effective.
