In this recipe, I’ve used oats, dry fruits, and nuts which are lactation friendly too, and hence it’s good for a new mother as well. Oats, dry fruits, and nuts help increase breast milk production naturally. You can add pumpkin seeds, poppy seeds, sesame seeds to make it more lactation friendly if you are making it for a new mother.
