Can Fennel Really Help Increase Breast Milk Production? - #22098

Wyatt

I am kinda worried about my milk supply lately. I’ve been reading that fennel can help with increasing breast milk, but I’m not sure if that’s true. I had my baby about 3 months ago, and at first, everything was fine. My milk was flowing, and I felt like a champ breastfeeding! But now, I feel like my supply is dipping, and it's been stressing me out. I’ve tried a few things, like more frequent feedings and pumping, but it’s been tough! So, I read online that fennel can increase breast milk. I mean, I love the flavor in my cooking! But I keep wondering, does fennel really increase breast milk like they say? Can eating it, or even sipping on fennel tea, actually help me produce more milk? Also, do I need to worry about any side effects or interactions with other things I’m eating? I see some people suggesting using fennel as a spice, or even taking it in supplement form, but not sure what's best. It’s just frustrating — I want to make sure my baby is getting enough, and the idea of relying on fennel to increase breast milk is kinda iffy in my mind. Anyone had experiences with this? Like, did fennel increase breast milk for you? Or should I be looking into other options? Any advice would be super helpful! Thanks!

Hey dear, 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)
