⚡ Lactation Energy Balls for Breastfeeding Moms
🤱 Why Energy Balls Boost Milk Supply
These energy balls contain proven galactagogues: Brewer’s yeast (rich in B-vitamins), flax seeds (omega-3s), and oats (beta-glucan). Together, they stimulate prolactin production while providing sustained energy for night feedings.
💪 Key Benefits for Nursing Moms
Each ball delivers triple-action support: 1) 5g protein for milk synthesis, 2) Magnesium for stress reduction, 3) Soluble fiber for stable blood sugar. Perfect for quick snacks during cluster feeding sessions.
