Majka: my FAVORITE lactation support for busy moms
I have an autoimmune disease that I manage with a dairy-free and gluten-free diet. I went on a search after both of my little ones were born as I breastfed exclusively and wanted extra nutrition to support my lactation. When I discovered Majka I fell right in love and have been using their products ever since. I know there are so many nutritional options out there for busy parents so I want to make sure I direct you to my favorites to help make your search for solutions a bit easier.
When I had my first child in 2014 I felt the need for nutritional lactation support, but rather than taking pills I was hoping to find something to add to my diet that I knew I’d be able to easily digest and also absorb. Besides the fact that it is really hard for a new mom who constantly has her hands full to remember to take supplements each day, I found that I was extra hungry while breastfeeding. It made more sense to me to use foods to support my lactation, yet there was nothing available at the time. Then, Majka came around.
Majka’s lactation bites were exactly what I was looking for after I had my second baby. I love having a whole foods option that isn’t too sweet and doesn’t take much effort to enjoy. They worked really well for me and I could sense the benefit as well. Having them handy also means that I don’t have to plan ahead to prepare my snacks. Feeling satisfied by a healthy snack also keeps me going on a busy week.
Another Majka product that I always keep on hand is their Nourishing Lactation Powder. I often use it for both breakfast and lunch as it is a lot easier to prepare than other lunches. I am able to avoid skipping meals by tossing it in the blender and am also able to savor it a bit more as I don’t have to take quick bites when I get the chance but instead sip it here and there while I attend to whatever needs my attention in the middle of the day, including my toddler.
My favorite Majka smoothie:
-1 serving Majka chocolate Nourishing Lactation Powder
-1 ripe banana
-½ cup almond milk
Blend!
