Catnip Tea
Although I have had a history of very rich and fatty milk. I did have a baby that was recovering from the Rota Virus, and had difficult gaining weight after the sickness. I found that when my nursing babies need a little help with weight gain, catnip tea helped. My nutritionist mentioned having me drink Catnip tea. Wow, that did it! The baby would nurse a lot more with it.
However, beware because it will also cause you to want to eat more, too. You can put on extra pounds yourself, because it makes mom want to also eat more (he,he).
Garlic
Mom consumes garlic in her diet will also cause baby to really like the milk, sucking will be increased. Babies love the taste of garlic in mom's milk.
Flaxseed Oil
You can take this as a nursing mom, or you can give it to baby. It will really put on the weight!Be careful to get a good brand because this can go rancid easily, and some brands aren't careful in this. Check with a healthfood store, nutritionist, or go through www.nutriplexproducts.com to find a way to purchase this brand (it is organic and unrefined). You can give this to a toddler as well. It really fattens them up, which helped my Rota Virus recovering son gain needed weight.
Baby Has Problem with Nursing
I did find that after my third baby recovered from the Rota Virus, he didn't eat well because his colon hairs were unable to absorb the cows milk proteing that passed through my milk to him. My pediatrician explained all of this with drawings. Thus, I had to have my breatst milk expert, Dee Kassing (excellent LeLache lady-worth every cent to use her services), helped me find that milk doesn't just go as "milk" on the ingredient labels. I had to learn all the other names it went under to eliminate it from my diet so my son could digest my milk.

So, does the catnip actually improve the quality of your milk, or just encourage the baby to nurse more?

When you get discouraged, remind yourself, as David does, the miracles God does in your family. Just as the Jewish people would mark their miracle moments with stones or alters. We, too, need to mark our miracles from God to remember with the children. |
