How do I increase milk supply?

Question

So I know latching is the best way to tell my body to produce milk... is there anything else I can do to try and  post supply? Eat/drink certain foods? Or stay away from anything in particular to avoid?  Thank you

Answer

I had only been able to pump 2oz. Once a day. But I drank a bunch of water. And ate two Apple's and a whole bunch of bandanas and that night I pumped 4oz and my milk was still flowing. It might have been the water but I think the fruit had a part in It too.

Answer

carrot juice is good. there is a vitamin in carrots that help with healthy lactation. And oats. ^_^

Answer

Have you tried pumping a few oz? That helps to encourage the flow.

Answer

Drink water, eat oatmeal and try mothers milk tea. I eat a bowl of oatmeal everyday and drink 2-3 cups of mothers milk tea and I usually pump 2-3 oz in 4 min. I know everyone is different but it's worth a try. Good luck mama!

Answer

If you can't latch baby, do manual expression. Preferably while baby is nearby or while you're pumping. Also, just having baby skin to skin near your breasts can increase production a bit.

Answer

If you're into essential oils, basil and fennel mixed with a carrier oil helps with milk production.
