Great post on herbs & breastfeeding

I ran into a great post on herbs and foods that are good to take to increase your milk supply while breastfeeding.

Of note:

• Don't eat ginger if you lost a lot of blood giving birth.

• A traditional Chinese remedy used in the early postpartum is homemade chicken soup, simmered with the bones for several hours and rich with chicken fat, taken only once a week—otherwise, it is said to over-stimulate the baby. This remedy is reputed to prevent depression, to restore a mother's vitality, and to help develop an abundant milk supply.

• Taking raw beet can help alleviate iron deficiency. These vegetables are naturally sweet, and they support the liver.
