what are some ways to increase milk supply?

3y ago

The single best way to increase your supply is to have lots of skin to skin contact, and latch your baby frequently and on demand. If you cannot latch, then a good quality Hospital Grade pump is your next best bet. If you are pumping, then make sure that you are measured to ensure that the flanges fit correctly. Getting lots of rest, and staying hydrated is also recommended. There are certain foods and supplements which some mothers find helpful. None of these will take the place of frequent latching or pumping though.
