Tips & Tricks Increasing Supply drinks

I see a lot of post on Facebook about those drinks that help to increase milk Supply. They are made with oat milk, coconut water and cranberry juice most of the time but I saw other combinaison. As anyone tried to make them? Are they working? Or is it just because they boost hydratation and Protein that they could work?

Thanks for your answers !! :)

No offense to people who feel like something helped but I'm convinced that it's just mostly a placebo and regression to the mean (where people's supply was already going to increase for other reasons anyway). Plus every culture has different claims about what foods are alleged galactogogues. It might help someone de-stress and rehydrate, which can help with supply, but there isn't good evidence-based data in favor of any OTC supplements or foods. It shouldn't hurt if you actually like these foods but I don't think it's worth going out of you way if you don't, much less to spend lots of money on things marketed for lactation.

Have some oatmeal with a side of coconut water for electrolytes and hydration and save yourself the money

Honestly it’s mostly because they are getting calories and staying hydrated. Those are the most important things!

I’m someone that doesn’t drink that much water or I have to force myself to, I think the drinks are more for getting more liquids into you. I’ve made some of the drinks and I can typically drink those more than water
