Dear blog readers.
Please help a mom that needs to know what to take to fix breast milk production. I never had any food for breast milk production maybe because naturally I tend to take lots of fluids.
I drink any kind of sweetened water or juice. Kunu drink too I think helps to boost breast milk production if you drink it on a full stomach.

REPLY: New mom, please try using the following:
- Fenugreek seeds
- Kunu drink
- Palm wine
- Corn pap Also known as ogi or akamu.
- Drink hot beverage (Nigerian tea)
Scroll down to read comments by other experienced moms on what helped them.
Look at this old blog post too about what to take for boosting production in that department.
What worked for me was Pap and something hausas call Tsamiya(dont know the name in English)
A God sent lady gave me in the hospital during my first,and since then it works like magic.the milk will flow and overwhelm u.
Make the pap thick then mix the tsamiya water(its very sour)in it.

Make your own kunu @ home wit guinea corn and take as much as you can..it works like magic too.
Pap and lots of tea… Drink enough liquid. But pap does a lot of magic for me though. And again eat lots of solid food inbtw like pounded yam or fofo.. It goes straight to the breast milk, and makes it full! Hope u're not watching ur weight shall… Lol

Pap, I mixed d corn with baba together…magical combo(morning)
Then at every point after bresstfeeding, kunu.
A lot of milk(peak, nido or loya) at anytime..
These three things are my milk production boosters…
Always make sure u eat ur normal meals..
Mine is palm wine. It works wonder as in the milk rushes like tap!

Take lots of fluids eg water through the day and make sure your meals are nutritionally balanced. You can only produce what you take in.
Again, the myth that you must take in lots of milk to produce milk is mere fallacy.
Funny enough I was looking this up a few days ago on google as I have the same problem.
Apparently what works for A does not work for B. I found drinking lots water all through the day helps, eating small meals often, resting/sleep, oatmeal/porridge, get the baby to suck often and for longer because the demand determines the supply of milk.
Allowing the baby to suck often and taking lots of fluid.
Beer helps a whole lot. I think it is the barley in it. But beer will work wonder
Queen B I'd appreciate if you can take a shot of the Tsamiya and make a post out of it. I'll really need it.
@Mrs Morgan, pap works well. I've not taken pap in the last one week tho and my factories have been flowing so much I wish I had twins(soaks my breastpad,padded bra and then my dress). Aside pap I make sure I drink atleast 3 liters of water and lotsssss of tea everyday.
Please don't diet. Eat lots of fiber. Have you started taking supplements? I plan getting Pregnacare Breastfeeding this week to replace my clinic drugs.
Let's do this together dear;exclusive all the way

Isn't the beer harmful to d baby?
Take white rice and peppersoup! Booze garri and
Take lots of hot fluid.then again I had hyperlactation
These worked for me dear.
Tokoni.
That's d issue now,but will have to look for it now,its been long I used it.
But if u ask those mallams selling dry pepper stuffs in a local market.
Brewer's yeast, taste nasty and takes some getting used to, and Guinness, Guinness is an age old remedy for bringing on breast milk. I am not sure how much, but just half a bottle should do, as for frequency, I don't know.
Water. Pap and palmy
Fenugreek seeds even Doctors reccomend it
Or gin
i heard Fenugreek is very good, but where can i buy it in Lagos?
Drink moringa tea twice a day. It works well. Ado ok sis.
Palm wine isn't good for d baby o. It's alcoholic na.

Kunun gyada is very good…
I've heard fenugreek seeds work wonders but what are they? How do I get them?
What is fenugreek seed? I've heard it works.
It's called tamarind in English. How do I get the extract out to use in Ogi?
