The most important factor supporting milk production for a postpartum mother is frequent and effective breastfeeding or expressing. The body produces more milk as breasts are emptied. Beyond that, adequate fluid intake (approximately 2.5-3 liters daily), balanced nutrition, and rest positively affect milk amount. Traditionally considered milk-boosters include fennel, dill, fenugreek, oats, almonds, tahini, and dark leafy greens. However, these foods' effects vary by person; none replace frequent nursing. If you notice significant decrease in milk or baby's weight gain is inadequate, consult a pediatrician and lactation consultant.
