Many moms asked me about the simple ladoo I ate during the first two months. This is the
same one I mentioned earlier. It is easy, affordable, and made with basic kitchen ingredients.
First, understand this clearly: no food alone increases milk. Milk production works on
demand and supply. Frequent feeding and proper latch come first. This ladoo simply
supported my energy, recovery, and nourishment, which indirectly supported milk flow.
If you cannot make ladoo at home then this are the best option for lactation and postpartum health recovery.
Ladoo Ingredients (Only 3)
- Methi (fenugreek seeds) – 2 tablespoons
- Gond (edible gum) – 2 tablespoons
- Desi ghee – 4 to 5 tablespoons I only used Anveeshan Ghee because of its purity. No other ghee guarantees quality but this ghee was pure and directly from farms and taste was also perfect.
That’s it.
Why These 3?
- Methi supports milk flow.
- Gond supports postpartum recovery and strength.
- Ghee provides healthy fats and calories, which help maintain energy during constant
feeding.
How I Made It
Dry roast methi seeds on low flame until slightly brown. Let them cool and grind into powder.
Heat ghee in a pan. Fry gond until it puffs up. Crush it once cooled.
Mix methi powder and crushed gond into the warm ghee.
Shape into small ladoos.
Keep them small. Do not make large ones.
How I Ate It
One small ladoo in the morning after breakfast.
Warm water or milk after it.
I did not exceed one per day.
Consistency matters more than quantity.
Important Points
Do not overeat methi. Too much can cause loose motion in some moms.
If you have thyroid or medical conditions, check with your doctor.
This is support food, not a replacement for proper feeding practices.
During my baby’s first 60 days, along with proper feeding and rest, this simple ladoo was
part of my daily routine. Nothing fancy. No expensive powders. Just basic home nutrition and
consistency.
If you do not like methi or it does not suit your body, you can choose from these simple
options. These support your energy, recovery, and nourishment, which helps you stay
consistent with feeding and indirectly supports milk supply and healthy baby weight gain.
Again, remember: frequent feeding and proper latch come first.
These are support foods.
