Info

• Switch nursing: offer each side twice during each feed. This can work well for a sleepy baby: the act of switching sides often wakes them up long enough to latch. It also gives each breast the milk-boosting impact of cluster feeding. • Incorporating a breast pump can be an important tool to help boost milk supply. As a rule, any time your baby gets a bottle of formula or pumped milk, do a pumping session. This will drain milk from your breasts and signal your body that it needs to keep producing. It is important to note: • There is very little scientific data to support the milk-boosting claims of herbal supplements, lactation cookies, and shakes.You could eat a bag of cookies a day, but without frequent and effective milk removal, they will not boost production. Always discuss herbal supplements with your doctor before starting. • Prioritize your mental health. Support from a friend or family member may be all that is needed to improve your confidence, give reassurance and provide encouragement. Other times, though, professional help, counselling, medications, and supplementary feeding methods become necessary to improve the well-being of both parent and baby. There are several ways in which you can work towards boosting your milk supply. Your baby’s ability to latch and remove milk is necessary for continued production! Several other factors can influence milk production and it can take some detective work to figure out the cause of low supply. The most important thing is to be patient with yourself, reach out for help, and protect your mental health. Your baby needs a healthy parent in both mind and body!
