Nutritionist Recommends These 5 Homemade Snacks To Boost Lactation In New Mothers

Stepping into motherhood for the first time is always special. But often, for new moms, the postpartum journey comes with its own set of challenges. Apart from recovering from childbirth, many women have to make both physical and emotional adjustments. One of the most significant aspects of this transition is lactation. However, with proper nutrition and enough rest, new mothers can gradually establish a healthy feeding routine while also supporting their recovery. Helping in this endeavour is nutritionist Lovneet Batra.

Lovneet Batra, in her latest Instagram post, has shared the “top 5 snacks that boost lactation.” Her side note read, “New moms, we know the postpartum journey is not easy—your body needs recovery, your baby needs nourishment, and your energy levels are constantly challenged. While supplements may help, your kitchen has some of the most powerful lactation-boosting foods you can count on every single day. These snacks are rooted in Ayurveda and backed by nutrition science. They are tasty, healing, and easy to make at home. Remember: A well-fed mother is equal to a well-nourished baby.”
