Hi! Hope you are safe and doing well! So foxtail millet is no problem during lactation. In fact it has a lactogenic effect, which means it helps in breast milk secretion. Apart from foxtail, you may also include galactogogues (foods enhancing milk secretion) like fennel seeds, garden cress seeds, edible gum, fenugreek.
Next Steps
Consult a nutritionist for better personalized guidance on your diet.

Hello, Foxtail millet is safe to consume during lactation. It does not cause any complications and contains iron and calcium required during lactation. That said, it is also important to focus on overall intake of nutrients and not a particular food for healthy lactating phase. I suggest you connect with us for a personalized session as it takes into account all your details and allows us to help you better. Following guidelines are also helpful 1. Eat balanced meals 2. Incorporate protein in each meal 3. Other cereals & millets such as ragi,jowar, bajra,quinoa are also healthy 4. Can include some galactogouges such as garden cress seeds, nuts, seeds, fennel etc 5. Never skip meals 6. Stay well hydrated

Foxtail millet is safe during lactation. Not to worry. But the key to good health lies in balance diet which demands variety of food. Eat different kind of cereals and millets rather choosing one.
