Lots of new, and not so new breastfeeding mums often worry whether their baby is getting enough milk.
There's no doubt that breastmilk supply is dependent on many factors.
Yet an age-old way to help support or increase supply is with herbs.
Herbs that help boost milk supply are called galactagogues (ga-lac-ta-gogs).
This word hails from the mid 19th century, from Greek gala, galakt- ‘milk’ + agōgos ‘leading’.
Galactagogue herbs have a long history of use and are thought to work by increasing prolactin release.
Prolactin is a woman’s main breastmilk-producing hormone. It's released into the bloodstream in response to the sucking stimulus.
According to the Australian Breastfeeding Association, 'galactagogues work best when breastmilk is being removed frequently and effectively from a mother’s breasts. When all factors contributing to a low supply have been identified and addressed, then galactagogues may help to speed up the process.'
