While not all cases of low milk supply can be prevented, certain practices can help support healthy milk production from the start:
1. Early Initiation: Begin breastfeeding as soon as possible after birth. 2. Skin-to-Skin Contact: Spend a lot of time in skin-to-skin contact with your baby, which can stimulate milk production. 3. Avoid Supplementing: Avoid giving formula or other supplements unless medically necessary, as this can interfere with your milk supply. 4. Regular Check-ups: Regular pediatric check-ups can help monitor your baby’s weight and overall health, ensuring they are receiving adequate nutrition.
