breast feeding

[Rebola06]

I didn't breast feed with my two daughters but I really want to do it this time. Any tips on how to make sure I get milk I heard some type of foods help? Is this true any suggestions?

Hello, I am still nursing my toddler ( he will be two in January) what I have learned as a first time mom is to keep hydrated as much as possible. When I first came home from the hospital I pump and store my breast milk in these sterile storage bags made for breast milk. I will eat oatmeal and take fenugreek tablets to help keep producing milk. You want to keep the baby on the breast as much as possible even if she/he is using you as a pacifier, I noticed skin to skin contact with my little one has helped. My milk supply did decrease while I went back to work. I will play a video from my phone or stare at his pictures to help my milk flow when I pumped at work. I am not pregnant with baby #2 and hope to breast feed as long as possible.

The best way to get milk is to keep feeding. The more u feed the more milk u produce.

Most women have no issues producing milk. I do. Oatmeal is a great food to help increase milk production. You can also Google recipes for cookies and other things that help supply. Please do not use these things unless you have an issue with supply. You don't want to over produce.

Ur body produces it once ur pregnant and once the baby starts to suck on ur breast it'll start to come out and keep reproducing that's what thy told me last week at my appointment
