Anyone know the recipe for Papaya and Fish Soup? Does it really help to increase breast milk supply?

While the effectiveness of the fish and papaya soup has never been verified by evidence based research, fish is a good source of protein, and papayas are packed with minerals and vitamins A, C and E. Combined, they provide a healthy and nutritious meal for anyone. "There is no strong objection to a mother having the soup as part of a diet for a breastfeeding mum. It is rich in protein, vitamins A and C, as well as beta carotene," says one lactation consultant. "However, I would suggest that the mother maintains a well-balanced diet, with everything in moderation and having a lot of variety in each food group. Keeping a healthy lifestyle helps, too." If you are concerned about your milk supply, speak to your doctor or a lactation consultant. Also, look out for signs that your baby is getting enough milk to help ease your worries. Ingredients 500 grams of fish bones (preferable to use threadfin - kurau - fish bones) 500 grams of green papaya (the flesh of the fruit is white) 3 litres of water 4 slices of ginger (this will help cut down any fishy taste or smell) 6 cloves of garlic 3 stalks of spring onion Salt to taste Directions Boil the water, then add ginger, garlic and spring onion. Cut the papaya into small slices. Discard seeds. Pour boiling water over the green papaya to remove sap, then drain. Combine the fish bones into the boiling pot, followed by the green papaya. Turn down the fire, leave to boil for about half an hour to reduce. This should yield about three rice bowls of soup.
