🌿 Galactagogues: What’s Fact & What’s Fluff? 💭

A galactagogue is any substance (herbal, food-based, or medicinal) that may help increase milk production. While some can be helpful in the right situations, there’s a lot of misunderstanding around them.
Some galactagogues can even make things worse!

💡 The real secret? Milk removal! The more milk you remove (by breastfeeding or pumping), the more your body is signaled to make.

True primary low supply only affects less than 5% of women. So why does it seem like so many women have low supply? Unfortunately, without prenatal breastfeeding education or hiring a lactation professional, many mothers are left to figure things out. They don't know what's normal vs not. They confuse comfort or cluster feeding for dissatisfaction. They equate pump output to supply. They see big formula bottles or social media influencers who have oversupply, and don't know what an average supply looks like.

👶🏽 So before spending money on herbs and cookies, make sure latch, feeding frequency, and milk transfer are being supported. Galactagogues can help — but only when used as part of a bigger picture, and with guidance from your IBCLC.
