There are several strategies that can help increase milk supply:
1. Frequent Nursing or Pumping: Nursing or pumping more often can stimulate the breasts to produce more milk. Aim for at least 8-12 sessions per day. 2. Ensure Proper Latch: Make sure the baby is latching on correctly to ensure efficient milk transfer. 3. Hydration and Nutrition: Drink plenty of fluids and maintain a balanced diet rich in nutrients. 4. Rest and Manage Stress: Adequate sleep and stress management techniques can positively affect milk production. 5. Galactagogues: Some mothers find that foods and supplements known as galactagogues help increase milk supply. Always consult a healthcare provider before trying any supplements.
