Cumin

Cumin is safe and actually has traditional use as a galactagogue in Indian and Middle Eastern cultures. It's a nutritious spice that's completely fine during breastfeeding.

📈Traditional mild galactagogue in many cultures.
Cumin is rich in iron and antioxidants and has been used in Ayurvedic and traditional Middle Eastern medicine to support milk production. It's safe in culinary amounts with no known adverse effects on breastfeeding infants. It can flavor breast milk, but this is generally not a problem.
