Effect of a ginger-spiced millet-soya drink and breastfeeding education on prolactin levels and breast milk volumes in postpartum mothers in northern Ghana: a randomized controlled trial

This study highlights the importance of dietary and educational interventions in enhancing lactation. The Zim-So drink, formulated with culturally familiar and bioactive-rich ingredients, emerges as an effective, acceptable, and affordable galactagogue for breastfeeding mothers. These findings indicate that integrating traditional dietary supplementation with structured breastfeeding education within maternal healthcare systems offers a practical and cost-effective approach to enhancing breastfeeding outcomes, particularly in resource-limited settings.
