Breastfeeding is direly necessary for good health of a
mother and her baby. Babies should be fed only breast milk for the first six months
as it builds strong immunity for fighting diseases apart from providing
nutrients and minerals. Even a very small quantity of breast milk is enough to
boost strength and keep a baby healthy.
Well there are endless benefits of breast milk which you
can refer from links below, as for now please do check below tried and tested tips
to increase your milk supply.
- Drink lots of fluid which includes 4 to 5 litres of water, lots of milk and fruit juices daily.
- Ensure to have dry fruits, fenugreek leaves/seeds, oats, dalia, cumin seeds, fennel seeds in your diet. Please check post pregnancy diet post as I have mentioned diet that increases breast milk along with helping you to keep your weight in check.
- Latch your baby and let him/her suck the milk as early as possible. Sucking process releases hormones that stimulate production of milk in mammary glands. The more they suck the more milk you have.
Take adequate sleep and avoid stressful situations for overall well being. Many women take tablets to increase milk. Not sure how
much it helps but above tips do not fail to increase supply!
