What to Do to Increase Your Breast Milk Supply

By Mums Mail Magazine29/07/20192 Mins Read

If you are experiencing an irregular supply, fear not.

There are steps every woman can take to ensure she gets her milk supply to where it should be namely:

Breastfeed Your New Born: Try breastfeeding your baby as soon as you can post birth.

Pump: If you find your baby is not finishing your milk, or you just want a little extra for feeding, make sure to pump regularly. This will also help with milk production.

Frequency: Ensure you are breastfeeding often. Remember, your baby’s tummy will digest your milk in between one and a half to two hours. Furthermore, stick to your feeding schedule. If you go back to work, pump in the regular time you would feed your baby.

Practice Latching: If you are struggling to latch, see a breastfeeding expert and seek help to ensure your baby latches correctly.

Alternate Sides: Be sure to alternate between breasts when feeding your baby.

Seek Medical Alternatives: Discuss all medication you take with your doctor before feeding. If you find a certain medicine is inhibiting your feeding, try seeking an alternative.

Take Care of You: Be sure to look after yourself. Ensure you are drinking enough fluids and getting the rest you need. Dehydration and fatigue can greatly affect your milk supply!
