How can fennel seeds help during lactation and what should I expect? - #22056

Logan

I am really trying to figure out what's the best way to increase my milk supply since I just had a baby a few weeks ago. I’ve heard sooo much about fennel seeds lactation and how they can help, but I’m not quite sure how it all works. So, I’ve been eating these fennel seeds, like, every day hoping they will boost my supply but sometimes I feel like I'm just eating them for nothing ya know? I read somewhere that they can contain compounds that mimic estrogen or something? Which sounds cool but how does that really help with lactation? Also, I’ve noticed that my little one seems a little gassy lately, like, could it be something to do with the fennel seeds lactation stuff? I guess I’m just a bit confused and want what's best for my baby and myself. Am I doing it right? How much should I be consuming? I’m also kinda worried if there are any side effects I should be aware of? Like, is it safe to just munch on them endlessly? I just wanna hear from some other moms or Ayurvedic experts, I mean if fennel seeds are good for lactation, why is everyone raving about them? So anyone here who can shed some light on” this?

Fennel seeds definitely increases the quality and quantity of milk. You can take Fennel Seeds for Breast Milk in following ways- 1. Fennel Seed Tea.-Boil 1 tsp of fennel seeds in 1.5 cups of water.Simmer for 5–10 minutes, then strain and sip warm. Drink this 1–2 times daily. 2. As a Spice in Food. 3. Chewing Fennel Seeds Other things which would be helpfull -*Skin-to-skin contact helps boost oxytocin and milk letdown. *Frequent feeding or pumping tells your body to make more milk. Oats, fenugreek, moringa, cumin, and ajwain are also helpful herbs/spices for lactation. Stay hydrated, nourished, and as rested as possible (easier said than done, I know)
