Eat raw paw paw to get more breast milk

Water

 water isn't technically a food, but it is the most essential aspect of ensuring you'll have an adequate milk supply. According to studies, 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. You don't need to drink three gallons a day, but you do need to be adequately hydrated—8 glasses (64 ounces) of fluid each day is an absolute must. In the early stages of your breastfeeding journey it's a necessity to have a bottle of water next to where you're going to nurse. You might not be thirsty when you sit down, but it isn't uncommon to be overwhelmed by thirst after a few minutes.

Oatmeal

Oatmeal is fantastic for building and maintaining your milk supply. Whether you enjoy a hearty bowl of hot oats in the morning or you sprinkle granola on your yogurt, make sure you're eating some oats. You already know that oatmeal helps to lower cholesterol and can aid blood pressure regulation, but increasing your supply is another awesome benefit of chowing down on oats.

 Garlic

You don't need to go overboard, but adding garlic to your foods not only adds another layer of deliciousness, it also boosts your milk supply.

Garlic has been used by nursing mothers for centuries to help boost their milk. A modern bonus for moms who don't like garlic: garlic pills are commercially available and are said to have no aftertaste.

 Carrots

Carrots are full of beta-carotene, which just happens to be in extra demand when you're lactating. Carrots are a healthy source of carbohydrates and will boost your potassium, too.

Snacking on carrots is also a great way to help you lose some of that stubborn baby weight. Peel and slice a bag of carrots at a time and store them in your fridge for easy snacking.

Nuts

Sometimes being a new mom can make you feel a little nuts. Take a breather, grab a handful of nuts, and enjoy a snack that will help your supply. Cashews, almonds, and macadamia nuts are the most popular choices for giving your milk a boost—they're also high in good fats and antioxidants.

Read labels and go for raw nuts when possible. Many commercially available nuts are heavily oiled and salted—opt for low sodium, or salt-free versions when possible.

Green paw paw

Yes, we're talking about eating unripe paw paw… In Asia, green paw paw is a traditional galactagogue.

  Try steaming or stir frying on high heat until tender. Green paw paw is also available in tablet form.

Sesame Seeds

Sesame seed are delicious, and we've all had a burger on a sesame seed bun, but you need to get more than just a dash of seeds to help boost your milk. Tahini is a delicious buttery paste made of sesame seeds that you can add into recipes and sauces for a Middle Eastern flair. For those with a sweet tooth, halvah is a delicious sesame seed snack—just don't eat too much of it because it's also loaded with sugar.

Ginger

Ginger is another widely used milk-boosting food. Many Asian and Indian recipes call for ginger, so expand your menu and try cooking some international cuisine. If you're tired and have no time, enjoy a few ginger snaps instead.
