Breast milk has the necessary nutrients a newborn baby needs for a healthy development. But sometimes the breast feeding mother does not get enough milk for the feeding of the baby.
Below are the five most effective ways to increase your breast milk production.
Don’t break from breastfeeding
A newborn should latch onto your breasts every two to three hours without night breaks. And even if you need to introduce the formula once or twice a day to keep your baby well-fed, you’ll need to still breastfeed him as often as possible to stimulate the production of milk.
Consider herbal supplements
If you are noticing that your body is not producing as much milk as needed for your baby and you have already tried every other method, you can add some natural supplements to your diet.
Adjust your lifestyle
Lack of sleep and exhaustion can result in the breast’s inability to produce enough milk. Therefore as a breastfeeding mother you need to adjust your lifestyle.
Try as much as possible to observe sleep whenever possible. You may ask your family members to help you out with the baby so that you don’t get completely exhausted.
Use breast pumping
Using a breast pump between feedings will increase your breast milk production naturally. Don’t forget that the milk needs to be properly refrigerated to continue being safe for the baby.
Keep the body sensitive
When the baby constantly falls back to sleep when latching your breast, he won’t stimulate the milk production properly as well. You therefore need to wake up your baby when it’s been more than 3 hours since the last feeding and keep him awake while latched.
