Boosting milk supply naturally: Why iron & nutrient-rich foods matter

Breastfeeding is an incredible journey, but many mothers experience concerns about milk supply. While frequent nursing and proper hydration are key, nutrition plays a major role in supporting a healthy, abundant milk supply.

One essential nutrient that often gets overlooked is iron - and this is where Vitality Pills (organic chicken liver capsules) can help.

Why iron is crucial for breastfeeding

Low iron levels are common during postpartum, especially for those who have experienced blood loss during birth. Since iron is vital for energy production, red blood cell formation, and overall recovery, a deficiency can leave you feeling drained and fatigued - making milk production even more challenging.

Vitality Pills provide:

✅ Heme iron: The most absorbable form of iron to replenish iron stores postpartum
✅ Vitamin B12: Supports energy, brain function and nervous system health
✅ Vitamin A: Plays a key role in postpartum healing and breast milk production
✅ Other essential nutrients: Including folate, choline, and zinc for overall wellness

By replenishing your body with these key nutrients, Vitality Pills help nourish you so you can better nourish your baby.

Other natural ways to support milk supply

While nutrition is foundational, here are some additional ways to encourage steady milk production:

1. Nurse or pump frequently

Milk supply works on a demand-and-supply basis. Feeding or expressing milk every 2-3 hours signals your body to keep producing. A good latch and breast compression can also help with milk transfer.

2. Optimize hydration

Breast milk is mostly water, so staying well-hydrated is essential. Keep a water bottle handy, and try nourishing drinks like coconut water, herbal teas or hydration drinks.

3. Support your recovery

Rest as much as possible, prioritize nutrient-dense meals, and ask for support when you need it. A well-rested, nourished mama produces more milk!

If you're looking for a simple, whole-food way to support your postpartum recovery and milk supply, Vitality Pills can help.
