How can I increase my milk supply?Updated a year ago

Try Feeding or Pumping More Often - Our breasts produce milk in response to demand. So, you will naturally increase your milk supply by feeding more, expressing more, or combining both. Feed on demand rather than by a schedule.

Increase Skin-To-Skin Time - Oxytocin is the hormone responsible for milk ejection, and spending time stripping down and making skin contact is one ofthe most powerful ways to trigger this hormone.

Take care of yourself - Your nutrition requirements are higher when you're breastfeeding. Your baby is relying on you for 100% of their nutrition. So, you need to try your best to eat enough food and not skip meals. Aim for a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, high protein foods and good sources of healthy fats. Avoid or limit junk food. Drink plenty of water and rest (as much as you can). In Shape Mummy superfoods are a quick and easy way to help you be healthy in this busy time of life.

If you are experiencing difficulties with milk supply, please consult your health care practitioner.
