General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Breast milk production is increased with increased breastfeeding or the removal of the milk. In between breastfeeding, you should try to pump off milk.

By both breastfeeding when the baby is hungry and pumping in between, your body will start to increase milk production.
You would need to both breastfeed and pump on both breasts.

You also need to make sure that you drink a lot of fluids and rest as much as possible. Not resting can stop the body from milk production.

When you pump to do it either where you can see the baby or have a picture, your body will respond to the image.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James, General & Family Physician
