Food that Reduces Milk Supply | Breastfeeding Mummies

Since the day my boy arrived, I became concern if I have enough milk for him. There are certainly some food that help boost our milk supply and on the other end, food that reduces it. For obvious reasons, I will definitely be avoiding those food that reduces milk supply as much as possible till the day I have finally decided to stop breastfeeding. Below are the 2 food, herbs, that I avoid for now.

Tips to Increase Chances of Conceiving a Baby Girl Naturally

Conceive A Girl Or A Boy
Well well well, I have to admit that I have always favoured girls to boys. 

Although, we can't really choose our baby's gender but we sure can do several things to up the chance of a girl or boy.

I am not decided yet if I still want another child. But if I do, I really hope to have a girl. So, I am definitely going to try these out to increase my chances of conceiving a baby girl. It may well work!

1. Have sex two and a half to three days before ovulation so the egg is more apt to be fertilized. It seems like the female sperms actually travel slower than the male sperms.

2. Ideally, it will be better for sperm to be deposited near to the entrance of the vagina, which is more acidic, and not deep into the vagina. The more acidic condition supposedly inhibits the male sperm.

3. Have a magnesium and calcium rich diet. Which will be more favourable to female sperms. It is also a great time to indulge in chocolate!
