Jungle Juice for breastfeeding mothers

JUICE

I don’t know how many Muslim mothers drink Jungle Juice for breastfeeding because many of us come from an Indian background and that means you probably drink ‘Laai’ – a milk mixture with Singhora flour, ghor etc to boost your milk supply and maintain your energy levels. There’s also ‘bor’ capsules to help with backache…

in any case, here is a recipe for a Jungle juice mixture from ‘Cathy’ courtesy of Your Parenting:

50ml Weleda Schlehen Elixir blackthornberry tonic
1lt apple-, berry- or grape juice
2lt water
1 sachet fruit flavoured Rehydrate
1 Cal-C-Vita-tablet and a few drops of Rescue Remedy to help you relax (Optional)

Basically you have to mix the above and drink a recommended 2litres per day…

the tonic can also be taken before birth during pregnancy to maintain energy levels.

    I used this and it really really helped. I alternated between the vit C and rescue remedy depending on which was available. I heard that fenugreek also helps.
