Hi, You can focus on having food that will aid in increasing the milk supply. Apart from that you have to make sure that you are nursing in the right position. Nurse from both the sides and nurse your baby frequently. Salmon, oatmeal, carrots, basil seeds, garlic, asparagus, apricots, cow's milk, etc. But the best thing is to make your baby nurse as much, as when the baby sucks then it sends message to the brain, and brain releases milk ejecting hormone, oxytocin. This hormone then flows to the breasts through the blood. And when the baby lactates, the milk flows out. So, you must feed as much as possible because this feeding itself will help in making of more milk. I am sharing a link where you can find what all things you can eat to help increase the milk supply. http://www.webmd.com/parenting/baby/ss/slideshow-increase-milk-supply
