Boosting Milk Supply Naturally: What Actually Works (Backed by Mums + Research)

Let’s be honest few things feel more stressful than worrying about your milk supply.

You’re feeding on demand, drinking water, eating snacks and still wondering: Is my baby getting enough? You’re not alone low supply is one of the most common concerns for breastfeeding mums. And while there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, there are natural ways to support your body and milk production.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through gentle, proven methods that help support milk supply backed by real mums, real research and real results.

First things first: is your supply actually low?

Before you dive into remedies, it’s worth checking: do you really have a low supply, or does it just feel that way?

Signs of healthy milk supply:

• Baby has regular wet/dirty nappies

• Baby is gaining weight steadily

• Baby seems settled after feeds

If you're unsure, speak to a midwife or lactation consultant first many mums assume their supply is low when it's actually just part of a normal feeding pattern.

Natural ways to support your supply:

1. Stay hydrated (but not just with plain water!)

Milk is made of water so staying hydrated is key. But did you know that plain water isn’t always enough? Your body also needs electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium to absorb fluids properly.

That’s why we formulated OMEA with hydration in mind using coconut water powder and pink salt for natural electrolyte support that tastes light, refreshing, and mum-safe.

2. Eat galactagogue-rich foods

Galactagogues are ingredients known to support milk supply. Some of the best natural options include:

• Fenugreek – a classic go-to, though not for everyone

• Moringa – nutrient-dense and iron-rich

• Fennel – supports digestion and lactation

• Brewer’s yeast – packed with B vitamins

• Oats, almonds, flaxseed – easy to add into snacks

You don’t need to take all of these separately OMEA combines key galactagogues into one simple sachet for convenience and peace of mind.

3. Feed more often (or pump regularly)

Milk production works on supply and demand the more often milk is removed, the more your body is signaled to make. If your baby is sleepy or skipping feeds, try:

• Offering the breast more often, even if just for comfort

• Power pumping (short, frequent pump sessions)

• Hand expressing after feeds

These small shifts can help build your supply over a few days.

4. Prioritise rest and reduce stress

Easier said than done we know! But chronic stress and exhaustion can impact milk flow. Ask for help. Nap when you can. Lower expectations. Be kind to yourself. Even 10 minutes of deep breathing or a walk can reset your nervous system.

5. Use gentle, safe support products

We created Omea because we needed something that was quick, gentle, and designed just for mums. Our sachets include:

• Natural galactagogues

• Electrolytes for hydration

• Gut-supportive ingredients

• Light natural sweetness (no added sugar)
  All with no fillers, no nasties, and no overwhelm.
