Fennel is often recommended in Ayurveda as a galactagogue, which means it can help promote or increase breast milk production. Its seeds contain phytoestrogens, plant compounds that may mimic the hormone estrogen, which plays a role in stimulating the production of milk. So, consuming fennel either in your diet or as tea, could potentially be beneficial for you. You might try adding fennel seeds in your cooking or preparing a fennel tea. To make the tea, you can steep 1-2 teaspoons of crushed fennel seeds in hot water for about 10 minutes. Drink this 2-3 times a day after meals to support digestion and milk production. You can also include it as a spice in curries, salads, or other dishes you enjoy. Considering side effects, fennel is generally safe in moderate amounts. However, high doses could potentially interfere with other medications or cause mild digestive issues. It's a good idea to start with small amounts and see how yur body responds. Aside from fennel, enhancing your milk supply can also depend on ensuring a balanced diet rich in nutrients, managing stress, and getting adequate rest. Hydration is key, too—so drink plenty of water throughout the day. If you're open to it, practices like yoga and pranayama can help balance your Vata dosha, which could be contributing to the dip in supply, as stress is often a factor in Vata imbalance. Techniques like belly breathing or alternate nostril breathing can promote relaxation. Should you continue experiencing difficulties, consulting with a lactation consultant might be beneficial to address any nuances or techniques in breastfeeding. Always remember, though, every body is different; what works for some might not work for others, so being patient with yourself is also really important.
