Suggest Effective Ways To Increase Lactation
Some foods and drugs if needed.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concerns.
Some ways to boost breast milk secretion are:
1. More you feed, more is the milk secretion.
2. Feed baby on demand and not by clock.
3. Eat a balanced diet which includes green vegetables, fruits and salads.
4. Drink plenty of water.
5. Breast massage can help.
6. Avoid any pacifiers like artificial nipples or bottles. Allow the baby to suck your nipples more.
7. Some foods can specifically help like fennel seeds (saunf), holy XXXXXXX (tulsi), sesame seeds (til).
If these strategies does not work, drugs like metoclopromide (prescription drug) can help. Take the drug only after consulting with your local doctor.
Hope this helps.
Best regards.
