Media personality and entrepreneur Toke Makinwa has candidly shared her struggles with breastfeeding and lactation foods.
On her Snapchat, the proud new mum responded to a breastfeeding mother who complained that drinking pap (fermented corn meal) wasn’t helping with milk supply. Toke agreed, revealing that she had faced the same challenge.
In her words:
“That pap is just rubbish!
I drank it for 2 weeks straight, the pressure on my mental health, the tea hasn’t done much to improve my supply o.”
This comes weeks after the former OAP welcomed her first child, a baby girl named Yakira Eliana, at the age of 40.
Recently, Toke opened up about how motherhood has transformed her lifestyle. She revealed that, unlike her usual outgoing personality, she spent most of the year indoors during pregnancy.
Just last week, she celebrated her daughter’s one-month milestone, describing the past weeks as “unbelievable.” She thanked her little one for choosing her and vowed to always give her best as a mother.
In another emotional post, Toke gushed over her daughter’s beauty, saying her baby is “fine not because I gave birth to her” but because of her natural adorableness.
She also wrote a heartfelt note, stating that her daughter had healed the broken heart she carried since childhood:
“She has changed my status and healed the broken heart I had carried since I was 8. I am already drowning in her big ol’ eyes and learning so much from her.”
On her podcast, the media personality became emotional as she reflected on her journey to motherhood. Toke revealed she had prayed to God to become a mother by 40 — and just a month after her birthday, her prayers were answered when she got pregnant.
