Im in my 8th month and already thinking about feeding the baby. With my first one I had supply issues so this time I want to be ready. Is there anything I can start eating now? Pls share.
I keep craving milk sweets and nuts, which my mom says is good for after-delivery milk! But honestly, the real milk supply only starts after birth, so just enjoy healthy foods for now.
Listen, there is no need to rush this. Your breast milk won't start until the baby is delivered, so stop worrying and just focus on eating a simple balanced diet now.
Don't worry about milk supply right now! 🥰 Your body is naturally preparing colostrum, and the proper milk starts a few days after birth. Just eat healthy and drink milk! 🌸
Please do not take any lactation supplements or powders during pregnancy without asking your doctor. Since I had complications, my gynac told me to avoid any self-prescribed herbs.
At my mom's place, she gave me milk, almonds, and ragi daily for strength. She always reminded me that breast milk comes naturally after baby's birth, so no need to stress about it now.
You don't need to try and increase breast milk during pregnancy, as actual milk only comes after delivery. Since I had gestational diabetes, my doctor told me to focus only on a low-sugar balanced diet for now.
