highly necessary Omega Fatty Acids for mother and baby both. Omegas are
critical for the brain development & growth of little ones.

OATS
Although oatmeal doesn’t have controlled studies to back it, there are
some reasons it may work to increase breast milk. According to Hilary Jacobson,
oatmeal is a comfort food for many mothers, promoting relaxation and relief from depression.
Mothers who are low in iron may not be able to produce adequate milk, and oats provide
iron. Oatmeal contains minerals that help stimulate the hormone oxytocin,
contributing to successful letdown during lactation. There is a correlation between some
galactagogues such as fenugreek and alfalfa and the reduction of cholesterol. Since oats are also known to reduce cholesterol, they may share the same characteristics of increasing milk supply.
