Sesame seeds for breastfeeding

There are many foods that are considered to be galactagogues, which help to increase the supply of breast milk.

Throughout the world, women in different cultures are given certain foods right after childbirth and while they are breastfeeding. Some of these foods are full of vitamins and minerals, and others contain chemical properties that may aid in the production of breast milk. Whatever the reason may be, these lactogenic foods are believed to promote and support a healthy supply of breast milk.

One of such foods is a sesame seed. High in calcium and estrogen-like plant properties, sesame seeds are believed to help nursing mothers make more breast milk. You can eat sesame seeds alone, as an ingredient in the recipes you prepare, as a topping for salads, or in a trail mix combined with other seeds, nuts and dried fruit.
