Chicken Tinola Soup for Increasing Breast Milk Supply

It's been a week since I gave birth to my second child. I'm still in recovery but I miss cooking (so bad) and so I thought I should just pass by here a bit and post my ultimate breastfeeding soup, Chicken Tinola with raw papaya and malunggay leaves.

Filipino Chicken Ginger Soup

I am not claiming to be a lactation food expert but this recipe has definitely worked for me all throughout my breastfeeding journey with my daughter and now my son. Its ingredients are known to help increase breast milk supply–raw papaya, ginger, garlic and malunggay leaves (moringa). Of course the chicken too for its protein content.

It's my ultimate lactation soup.

I will have to keep this short for now because the baby is calling but I do hope this makes it to your list of favorite lactation recipes.

Eat this a few days before giving birth and of course post delivery.

Remember to always eat this warm for better stimulation. Best serve with brown rice which is more nutritious than white rice.

    You are doing amazing work! Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipes. I think the combination of this Lactation soup and Domperidone had the best effect. Until I started the domperidone my baby may well have fed on blood from a stone. We tried the skin-to-skin, the constant feeding, the teas, the massages, but basically my milk never came in in sufficient quantity. Just as I was about to quit, a friend suggested domperidone (So happy ❤️ I found “Make24milk” ? in Google and got Dom). I was able to stop the domperidone after a while and supply held more or less steady.
