Pregnant and Breastfeeding Moms - Learn how to grow, cook, make tea, capsules, and tinctures from the lactogenic plants that you grow in your indoor or outdoor garden.

Jacobson introduces us to 40 "galactagogues" you can grow at home - vegetables, fruit, herbs, and weeds - all of which support milk supply. True to her style, she offers in-depth, well-rounded information so that after reading this book you will know more about health, breastfeeding, and human culture, and of course about year-round gardening.

We know Hilary Jacobson through her book "Mother Food: A Breastfeeding Diet Guide with Lactogenic Food and Herbs," which is beloved by mothers and lactation consultants the world over.

For "wild-foragers," Jacobson identifies edible weeds and flowers that can be safely used to increase milk supply, such as hollyhock root, wild lettuce, and purslane.

This book also gives special attention to plants that grow in hot, dry climates, so-called "survival foods" and "famine foods." Should the area where you live suffer water shortage and excessive heat, the knowledge in this book, how to grow lactogenic foods in a difficult climate, may be life-saving.
