Oats
Oats are a beloved lactation food with a long tradition of supporting milk supply. They're nutritious, safe, and a staple in lactation cookies and oatmeal bowls.
📈One of the most popular galactagogue foods; rich in iron which may support supply.
Oats are rich in iron and beta-glucan fiber, both of which may support milk production. Iron deficiency is linked to reduced milk supply, and oats are one of the best plant sources of iron. The evidence is largely anecdotal, but oats are highly nutritious and there's no downside to eating them regularly. Certified gluten-free oats are available for those with celiac disease.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
