What can pregnant women drink to increase milk production?

Every child is the hope of every family, so the mother has a top priority position in the family. They are always carefully cared for and looked after by the elderly in the family, for fear that something might go wrong. Some mothers have plenty of milk and can feed their babies to make them plump and white. Some mothers do not have enough milk, and their children are not satisfied, which makes the elderly people in the family anxious. So what can pregnant women drink to increase milk production?

Lettuce Seed Porridge

Ingredients: 15 grams of lettuce seeds, 6 grams of licorice, and 100 grams of polished rice.

Efficacy: Lettuce seeds are the seeds of the lettuce plant of the Asteraceae family. Those with full grains, dryness and no impurities are preferred.
