15+ Recipes that Boost Lactation for Breastfeeding Moms

June 27, 2016 by Julie 15 Comments

Breastfeeding moms, do I have a treat for you! Check out this collection of amazing and delicious lactation recipes that include ingredients to boost lactation to help increase breastmilk supply!

Last Updated March 2020.

Breastfeeding your baby is very rewarding, but can be difficult. Despite our struggles, I look back fondly at my breastfeeding relationship with Baby H. While I breastfed, I made sure to add breastfeeding-friendly foods to my diet (such as oats, flaxseed, drink mother’s milk tea, add or cook with brewer’s yeast, and take a fenugreek supplement) to help my supply.

Since my post about my overnight oatmeal for lactation continues to be such a hit, I thought I would find other wonderful recipes for nursing mothers and lactation recipe ideas for foods that help boost breastmilk supply. This roundup helps answer the question “what to eat when breastfeeding” with some great ingredients and can hopefully help some of my readers now. Enjoy!

    What a seriously great resource! I remember reading about your breastfeeding journey, I agree that it is seriously rewarding while also being a challenge. I only breastfed Lorelai for three months because I was transitioning to a new job, but I really enjoyed the time I was able to do it. If I could do it again, I would have found a way to do it longer!

      I hope it helps others 🙂 Yea I feel like by the time we got the hang of breastfeeding, I had to return to work and pumping just wasn’t cutting it or helping my supply. I’m with you that if I could have had a chance to do it longer, and full time, I would have loved that chance. Maybe things will be different next time heh.

    That cookie mix in a jar is really an awesome baby shower or new mommy gift! I’m going to have to remember that! I also love smoothies for new moms, you need foods that you can eat with just one hand after all! 🙂 Great post! 🙂

      Yes, true, you have to learn to eat one-handed so smoothies are helpful. I loved that cookie mix in a jar idea. So clever!
