Malunggay Makes Me Produce More Milk

Before I gave birth to Baby Fiel, I had been told by my cousin-in-law, that "malunggay" is best for breastfeeding mothers because of its ability to stimulate the body to produce more milk.

Fortunately for me, I really like "malunggay" since I was a kid. And fortunately also, "malunggay" grows abundantly here in our place so I can have some whenever I want it.

Right now, my baby consumes nothing but my milk, so I need to produce as much milk as her body requires. I have small breasts than most mothers I see, so providing enough milk for my baby is a struggle.

But "malunggay" is a real life-saver. I proved this myself because there were days when I do not eat "malunggay." During those days, I observe that my baby never seem to get enough milk from me. So I would tell my husband to get me some "malunggay" and include it with my meals. And it works like magic. The following days, I have more than enough milk for my baby.

Even though I am a certified malunggay-lover, still we need to prepare it in variety of ways to make it more appetizing for me. My favorite is "malunggay' cooked with coconut milk. Another all-time favorite is fish soup with "malunggay." Sometimes I just like it boiled with some tomatoes and onion. I also love it cooked together with instant mami.

Anyway I prepare it, "malungagay" always does its job for me. I thank God that our place was spared by the recent typhoons, so our "malunggays" stay leafy
