Walnut can slightly increase milk production in a nursing mother and change its composition. In order to achieve the desired effect, it is necessary to prepare a mixture on its basis to increase lactation.
How to make a formula to increase lactation
Walnut is a product rich in vitamins, microelements and other useful components. Its use is very beneficial for nursing mothers, since the nut helps to increase milk production and increase its fat content.
Some women prefer to eat several nuts a day. They believe that in this way they will be able to increase lactation. But experts say that eating nuts in their raw form only changes the composition of mother's milk, and only the infusion of nuts in cow's milk can affect its production.
To prepare the infusion, you need to grind 200 grams of peeled nuts and pour 0.5 liters of boiling milk over them. You need to infuse the mixture for 3-4 hours and it is best to do it in a thermos.
After this time, the mixture must be filtered. The resulting infusion should be consumed 20-30 minutes before the start of each feeding. Some women admitted that they began to feel a rush of milk within a few minutes after the drug was drunk.
Infusion to increase lactation cannot be stored for a long time. The filtered liquid remains usable within 24 hours after its preparation. Some experts advise preparing the remedy 2 times a day.
Milk infused with walnuts should not be drunk for a long time. With the normalization of breast milk production, the intake of lactogonic drugs can be discontinued. If signs of allergy appear, the use of the infusion should be immediately abandoned. Unfortunately, this happens quite often, since walnuts are considered to be quite an allergenic product.
How to increase lactation by other methods
If a young mother has problems with milk production, she does not need to rely solely on the miraculous power of the infusion. There are many other methods that can help cope with this problem. Experts believe that this issue should be approached comprehensively.
Increased lactation is facilitated by frequent latching of the baby to the breast. That is why modern pediatricians advise feeding babies on demand, and not by the hour, as it was before. Night feeds are of particular importance. Milk is produced very intensively at night. Nighttime breastfeeding stimulates lactation.
Special teas with fennel, dill, as well as drinking plenty of fluids help to cope with the problem of milk shortage. A young mother shouldn't worry about trifles, as stress only exacerbates the problem. It is important to learn to control your emotions and believe that everything will work out.
