Yes, it might seem unusual, but the strong flavor and smell of garlic in <strong>breast milk<\/strong> encourage the baby to drink more milk. This interesting fact is the result of research conducted at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<p>To verify this hypothesis, scientists gave half of the breastfeeding mothers a garlic capsule while the other half received an inactive capsule. A drop of milk taken as a sample from the mothers who consumed <strong>garlic<\/strong> had a strong aroma. However, the <strong>babies<\/strong> liked it. When the milk smelled like <strong>garlic<\/strong>, babies stayed longer at the breast, sucked more, and generally drank more milk.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, a sip of alcohol before breastfeeding is a way to discourage the baby from drinking more milk.

On the contrary, babies of mothers who drank orange juice mixed with alcohol drank significantly less milk.<\/p>\n<p>Scientists believe that strong flavors generally stimulate a baby&#8217;s appetite, while in the case of alcohol, it leads to reduced appetite, weakened sucking ability, or less milk production.<\/p>\n<p>The text is taken from Jean Carper&#8217;s book, <em>Food: Your Miracle Medicine<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Franjo Lenac<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mothers, if you want to stimulate your baby&#8217;s appetite, eat a little garlic one hour before breastfeeding.
