Pregnancy and breastfeeding are beautiful (and exhausting!) chapters of motherhood. Many mums look for safe, natural ways to support their health and their baby’s development. One supplement that’s becoming a favourite among lactation consultants and mums alike is sunflower lecithin.

At TLCco Store, we stock Le LoLo Sunflower Lecithin capsules – 60 organic capsules for $20 – an easy, affordable way to explore the benefits of this gentle, plant-based support.

What Is Sunflower Lecithin?

Lecithin is a natural fatty substance made up of phospholipids that help keep our cells healthy. Sunflower lecithin comes from sunflower seeds (not soy or eggs), making it naturally non-GMO, allergen-friendly, and free from additives.

In everyday terms: it works as an emulsifier – helping fats and fluids mix more smoothly in the body. That simple action may have some very welcome benefits for mums.

Benefits During Pregnancy

While most studies focus on breastfeeding, sunflower lecithin may also support mums-to-be:

• A source of choline – Choline is essential for baby’s brain and nervous system development. Lecithin provides phosphatidylcholine, which contributes to overall choline intake.
• Fat metabolism & liver support – By helping to break down fats, lecithin may support healthy liver function during pregnancy.
• Soy-free & clean – Many mums prefer sunflower lecithin over soy because it’s naturally allergen-friendly and GMO-free.

Always check with your obstetrician before adding any supplement during pregnancy.

Benefits for Breastfeeding Mums

This is where sunflower lecithin really shines – and why so many breastfeeding women swear by it.

1. Helps Prevent Clogged Milk Ducts

Clogged ducts happen when milk thickens and gets “stuck.” Lecithin’s emulsifying effect may help keep breastmilk fats flowing more smoothly, reducing those painful blockages.

2. Supports Mastitis Prevention

Fewer blockages mean less chance of mastitis – a painful breast infection that often follows clogged ducts. Many lactation consultants recommend sunflower lecithin as a preventive option for mums prone to repeated blockages.

3. Improves Milk Flow

Sunflower lecithin won’t directly increase supply, but it may make milk flow easier, leading to more comfortable feeds and pumping sessions.

4. Everyday Comfort

Mums who use sunflower lecithin regularly often notice fewer flare-ups, smoother feeding routines, and a little more peace of mind.

How to Take Sunflower Lecithin

• Typical dose: 1,200 mg up to 3–4 times daily when dealing with blocked ducts. Once resolved, many reduce to 1–2 capsules a day as maintenance.
• Best taken with meals to aid absorption and reduce any tummy upset.
• Available as capsules, powders, or fablets – easy to fit into your routine.

At TLCco Store, our Le LoLo Sunflower Lecithin capsules are:

• Organic
• Soy-free
• Easy to swallow

Motherhood comes with enough challenges – clogged ducts and mastitis don’t need to be on that list. Sunflower lecithin is a gentle, natural way to support milk flow and comfort through breastfeeding, while also offering potential benefits in pregnancy.
