Breast feeding diet?

Question

Are any of you beginning a diet prior to birth that will assist in breastfeeding? Eating oatmeal, drinking mothers milk tea, extra leafy greens, etc? 
I want to be able to have a good supply from the beginning so I’m wondering if anyone else is doing this too.

Answer

Oatmeal is good, active brewers yeast (you can buy a some natural food stores), and once baby is here, dark beer haha! 
Look up lactation cookies recipes online, most call for oats and the brewers yeast. I made them with my first and were an awesome snack middle of the night when i was starving from breast feeding!! I had a very large amount of milk supply with my first.

Answer

I’ve been doing all that minus the tea most of this pregnancy. Helped that was my daily diet before I became pregnant. I have just added soynut butter to my diet because I am mostly vegan and allergic to most “nuts”. Trying to add healthy fats. Also chia seeds and flaxseed have been my best friend!

Answer

I don’t think mothers milk tea is safe during pregnancy. 
I’ve never started a diet before hand, most of the things that can help with supply work within a day or two, so starting early doesn’t make much of a difference. 
The best thing you can do is nurse baby on demand as soon as s/he is born and avoid all artificial nipples until your nursing relationship is established.

I just got it cleared with my OB to start taking Motherslove Goats Rue and Motherslove Mire Milk a month before my induction date, and also starting a home ready. I found these supplements too late in my breastfeeding experience almost three years ago, so I am preparing ahead. The motherslove product has a great reputation of performance on mothers who adopt and breastfeed their children. Happy feeding!

Answer

I eat oatmeal daily already, thankfully. Even tho our milk may not come in for a few days, I feel like eating the oatmeal will help us have a good supply from the beginning. I have thought about buying sunflower lecithin to have on hand for any clogs that may come up. I don’t want to worry about running to the store or anything with a new baby.

Answer

Your supply doesn’t come in until after the baby is here. Even then, it’ll take a few days. You’ll only produce colostrum initially before your milk comes in.

Answer

There's nothing you can do before hand to help your supply unfortunately. But those things you can do after the baby is here and you're producing your mature milk.
