How to increase breast milk

Many mothers are afraid of not being able to produce enough milk to meet the needs of their baby. In most cases, this fear is unfounded and this feeling is due to shorter breastfeeding times or a natural increase in baby's appetite. These are natural scenarios that many mothers experience when breastfeeding. However, if your baby does not gain weight or worse, if he loses weight, then increasing breast milk production can help you.

Increase production before breastfeeding

Consume at least 1,800 calories a day and drink at least 6 glasses of fluid during lactation.

Consult your doctor for advice on the use of homeopathic food supplements or to give you a prescription to increase your milk production

Complement breastfeeding with the breast pump.

Limit the use of pacifiers and bottles when trying to produce more breast milk.

Increase milk production during breastfeeding

Relax

Let your baby suck as frequently and as long as he wants.

Undress your baby to promote skin-to-skin contact during breastfeeding

Try to breastfeed in a baby carrier.

Breastfeed your two breasts each time you breastfeed so that your body "knows" that you want to make more milk.

Try to take a "breastfeeding leave".
