Our bites contain various superhero foods, including:
- Black Sesame Seeds: Black sesame seeds can help increase milk supply and are loaded with nutrients. They’re an especially good source of iron, zinc, calcium, which are needed in higher amounts by breastfeeding mamas.
- Chia Seeds: Chia seeds are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s in chia seeds can convert to DHA in the body. DHA is a type of omega-3 fatty acid that is crucial for development. Since your baby gets DHA from breast milk it’s important to increase your consumption of omega-3 fats and supplement.

For optimal lactation support, we recommend eating one to two bites per day. For increased milk supply, enjoy your bites an hour before breastfeeding or pumping! For more filling snack adding foods with volume may be helpful since the bites are very nutrient-dense and can add up quickly.
