Why you'll love it
Breastfeeding is a natural way to provide nutrients and antibodies to support the healthy growth of your baby and protect it from infections and disease. It also has positive impacts on your own health, helping lower the risk of health complications such as diabetes and weak bones later in life. Last but far from least, breastfeeding is a wonderful opportunity to bond with your baby and nurture their need for comfort and love.
However, only 26% of Canadian mothers exclusively breastfeed until the six-month mark, with insufficient milk supply being the main reason cited for stopping breastfeeding. Low milk production can be extremely stressful for new moms, but in many cases, it can be overcome with simple measures:
- Making time for self-care and relieving stress
- Eating often and consuming more calories
- Maintaining a healthy and diverse diet
- Drinking plenty of water
- Adding lactation-boosting foods to your diet, like oats, garlic, and dark leafy greens
- Increasing the number of feedings
- Effective latching of the baby
- Supplementing with herbal galactagogues
Ma’s Milk is intended for breastfeeding mothers who wish to increase their milk production. It is safe to take it either immediately postpartum or 2-3 days after postpartum.
You may want to take Ma’s Milk if your milk supply is insufficient, if you need to stockpile milk before spending time away from your baby, or if your baby is going through a growth spurt and needs more milk than usual.
It is important that only breastfeeding mothers take this product. Blessed thistle can stimulate menstruation and is not safe for use during pregnancy. It is safe to use postpartum.
You can continue to take Ma’s Milk for as long as you wish to keep breastfeeding and should expect to see results within 12-24 hours of consuming this product. This product should be used in conjunction with increased feedings to stimulate breast milk production.
Why this formula?
Galactagogues are herbs that help increase milk supply in breastfeeding moms. Ma’s Milk’s formula, third-party tested for your safety, features three scientifically-proven galactagogues: blessed thistle, fenugreek, and moringa.
Blessed Thistle: A Mediterranean herb known for its many medicinal applications. It stimulates blood flow to the mammary glands, increases and enriches milk flow.
Fenugreek Seeds: A commonly-used galactagogue in many parts of the world. It is a source of phytoestrogens, which play a role in the production of prolactin, the milk production hormone.
Moringa Leaf: A highly valued food crop in its native South Asia, it has been shown to increase prolactin levels and milk production.
How much do I really need?
The recommended dose to help with lactation is 2 capsules per day.
