What increases breast milk supply?

The most effective way to increase breast milk is for your baby to nurse frequently and effectively. The more your breasts are emptied, the more milk your body produces. Beyond that, drinking plenty of water, eating a balanced diet, and getting adequate rest and sleep are all important. Stress can negatively affect milk production, so taking time for yourself is beneficial too. You may have heard about fenugreek, dill, and fennel as traditional remedies; however, their effectiveness varies from person to person, and I recommend consulting a healthcare professional before using any herbal supplement. Remember, the main determining factor in milk production is how often your baby nurses — so the priority is maintaining a regular feeding schedule.
