Boosting Your Milk Supply!
Breastfeeding is a beautiful bonding experience between you and your child. However, some new mothers find it difficult regarding milk supply and other issues like latching. You need not panic if your milk supply falls short of expected. You can help to boost it by doing some basic tasks.
This blog will cover simple strategies for increasing milk production. We will provide you with the tools to enable seamless breastfeeding for your child and yourself.
Your body will naturally generate more milk the more you breastfeed your infant. This is so because breastfeeding operates under supply-and-demand rules. Frequent baby feeding indicates that your body needs to generate extra milk. Particularly in the early weeks, try feeding on demand rather than following a rigid plan.
While you’re busy caring for a newborn, it’s easy to forget to drink enough water. It would be best to be well-hydrated so that your body can produce enough milk. Aim to sip lots of water all during the day. Herbal teas known to increase milk flow, such as fenugreek or fennel tea, are also worth trying.
There are several foods proven to boost milk supply. Usually referred to as lactogenic foods, these consist of:
Oats: An easy breakfast choice, oatmeal can increase your supply.
Flaxseeds: To increase supplies, toss flaxseeds into your breakfast or smoothies.
Garlic: Easy to add to your meals and well-known for its milk-boosting powers.
Kale or Spinach: Great nutrient-dense leafy greens like kale and spinach.
Nuts: Almonds, walnuts, and cashews contain healthy fats that help increase milk flow.

Another excellent technique to tell your body to generate extra milk is to pump between breastfeeding sessions. Try pumping on each side for ten to fifteen minutes following a baby’s feed. This can also help you create a reserve of breastmilk for later use.
Though it’s more difficult said than done with a baby, getting adequate sleep helps maintain consistent milk production. When your baby naps, try to nap; don’t hesitate to ask relatives or friends for help. Get support from your partner or family members so you can rest.
Massaging your breasts gently will help boost your milk supply and flow. This promotes milk duct stimulation and better milk flow.
