What foods to eat?

Question

Im a recently new mom here by 6 days. I breastfeed my baby girl but my milk looks a little bit watery. Suggestions on what to eat and drink so my milk cqn be richer?

Answer

Breast milk is about 88%water. The longer baby nurses the more hindmilk baby gets, but there isn’t anything really you can do to “fatten up milk “ (of course eat well and take prenatal vitamins so you and baby gets enough)

Answer

That's foremilk coming out, you can massage your breasts while you pump to get the fattier hindmilk. There aren't specifically any foods that cause your milk to be richer, just take prenatals and drink plenty of water.

Answer

There are two types if milk you produce throughout. The fatty, richer looking one is produced in the highest ratio when your breast is half empty according to my newborn book. So I guess make sure your at least half emptying your breasts and you're good :)

Answer

I would wait to take this supplement since you are so early into your BF journey. Establish your supply and rhythm with baby! I only did so when I went back to work at 5 months and wanted to make sure my supply didn’t take a dip. But my body responded incredibly well to Legendairy Milk supplements, particularly Cash Cow. The fatty layer that would separate from the milk in the fridge can be darn impressive.
