Breastfeeding

How to increase breastmilk supply?

Recently, I stopped breastfeeding and pumping due to busy schedule. Today I want to start breastfeeding again, however I realised my breast become smaller and the supply become lesser. Is it possible for milk supply to be back again? What are some ways I can do? Thank you very much. ?

Milk supply will drop because it is about demand and supply. When you don’t breastfeed or pump, you are signalling to your body that you don’t need the milk. Yes, it’s possible to regain supply but you need to be diligent and breastfeed/pump every 3 hour, even in the middle of the night. You can also do power pumping for 1 of the session, preferably at night since milk production peaks at night. Eat milk boosters such as oats, dates, salmon and durians etc and drink lots of water (at least 2 litres). All the best!
