Lactation in mothers

Recommends

  • Breast feeding helps the womb to shrink back to its normal size more quickly.
  • Frequently, cook raw papayas (kacha papita) and eat.
  • Half teaspoon finely ground cinnamom (dalchini) taken every night along with 1 cup milk.
  • A pinch of powdered cinnamom (dalchini) mixed with a little honey should be taken every night.  It not only increases secretion of breast milk, but also checks early release of ova after child birth, delays occurrence of menstruation and prevents early conception.
  • Mix together 1 teaspoon each cumin (jeera) powder and sugar and take with warm milk after dinner every day for a few days.
  • Boil 2 teaspoons cumin (jeera) seeds in ½ cup water.  Filter.  Mix in ½ cup milk and 1 teaspoon honey.  Drink once a day for a few days.
  • Boil 2 teaspoons fennel seeds (saunf) in barley water and take twice or thrice a day.
  • Grind a handful of bitter gourd (karela) leaves into a fine paste and apply on breasts.
  • Grind together ½ cup cumin seeds (jeera), ½ cup aniseeds (saunf) and ½ cup sugar candy (mishri) to a powder.  Have 1 teaspoon of it with milk, three times a day.
  • A khichri like mixture prepared from roasted fenugreek seeds (bhuna methi daana), milk and sugar is given to increase breast milk.

LACTATION – STOPPING

  • Tie warmed leaves of dhatura on the breasts.
