Hi,
The
lactation of the woman depends on different factors like:
- General condition of the women
- The type of delivery and blood loss during the delivery
- Food intake by the mother
- Serum
prolactin levels, etc.
The possible steps that can help you to increase the breast milk are:
- Taking adequate and healthy diet including fruits, vegetables, milk, garlic, fish, etc.
- Some herbal products containing Asparagus racemosus, Ipomoea digitata, etc., can help in increasing the breast milk secretion according to the manufacturers.
- Giving frequent feeds to the baby in proper position and continuous attachment with the baby can increase the amount of breast milk.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
