For a lot of new moms out there, sometimes it might be hard in the beginning to produce enough breast milk. It’s something we may all go through so please don’t give up - you are so normal!

Here’s a recipe to increase production of breast milk. It is an age-old Chinese secret recipe from my mom, Sophia, that has worked for generations in our family. You can get these inexpensive ingredients from any grocery store; you don’t have to pay top dollar for organic supplements (Although we do recommend organic supplements and natural herbs you don’t need them for this recipe), and it actually tastes good (our friends say it’s delicious). The most important thing is — it works! Our friends are swearing by this now, and we thought we’d share it here.

Note: Please do not republish this recipe in a book, blog, or magazine or any other medium as your own - this is our family recipe and is registered, copyrighted, and protected material. We just wanted to share and help others, so please be nice.

While we’re on the subject of breast feeding, here’s another tip: Every time you start to feed, squeeze a little excess milk from each nipple and wipe with a warm damp tissue. We clean our dishes before serving food, so why feed your baby old smelly milk?
