💡 Ask the Expert👩‍⚕️: How do I know my baby is feeding enough?

Generally a nice healthy and balanced diet is all that is needed when you are breast feeding. There are a number of substances, foods and even prescription medications which are collectively known as galactagogues and are sometimes recommended when a mother’s supply is low though. All of these work better on some people than others, and also have potential side effects though so it is always advisable to chat to a medical professional first. The single best thing to increase a mother’s supply is simply to latch or pump frequently and on demand.
