Pls what can i take to increase my breastmilk flow. My baby feeds frequently and my milk production is not much.
Breastmilk is made up of majorly fluids. So 1) take at least 6-8 glasses of water a day( pap helps you do that by making you drink more water and it is made up of majorly water) 2) don't skip meals. Eat as usual but in moderation.3. Be more active and mobile, do exercise as much as you can. It increases circulation and improves breastmilk production.4) replace fatty and sugary foods (cakes and biscuits) with more healthier snacks like fruits. 5) avoid caffeine and alcohol containing food while breastfeeding.6) avoid crash and fad diets too.
Foods like lactation cookies, Pap, oatmeals, carrots, Sweet Potato etc can help. Don't forget to drink lots of water too
