Pap / Ogi (Fermented Corn Porridge)

Pap (also called ogi or akamu) is a smooth, fermented corn porridge that is a staple postpartum food in Nigeria and across West Africa. Gentle on digestion and often enriched with milk, sugar, or groundnut, it's a comforting and safe food for breastfeeding mothers. Its mild flavor makes it easy to eat in the early days of recovery.

Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
