My milk boosters were: Chicken Tinola (Filipino dish with chicken chunks, papaya, ginger and lots of malunggay/ moringa leaves), Mussels or any seashells in coconut milk, lactation cookies and lots of fruit juices and water! Then coffee, tea, dark chocolates and sodas were avoided. According to http://www.babycenter.com/404_are-there-any-foods-to-avoid-while-breastfeeding_8906.bc too much caffeine can interfere with your baby's sleep or make him fussy and I took that advice.

There was this channel 8 show that says potato leaves, barley, pig trotters helps. I tried n it works for me too but cant eat too much pig trotters coz fattening hahaha

I drink Dumex Mamil Mama Milk + Oatmeal/Milo as a milk booster. It taste great no matter is warm or ice cold. You can even make avocado milkshake out of it by just adding avocado + gula melaka / honey. No harm trying, you can requests sample from below link to try https://www.dumex.com.sg/products/Pages/Product-mamil-mama-precinutri.aspx Food to avoid - peppermint, liquor & coffee.

Nescafe, dates and orange juice are my milk boosters. I avoid seafood and dairy products because allergic history in the family to these two types of food (happened few times that my kids' allergy flare up after eating seafood)

I found that durian, almonds, salmon, lots of water, soy bean milk, red date tea, and brewer's yeast in lactation cookies, boost my milk. Fermented durian (tempoyak, a malay food) is a super booster for me.

I take coconut oil capsules everyday.. Food wise i take alot of fish, oat milk, milo, lactation cookies from singapore lactation bakes and not forgetting, drinking lots of water..
