Do the foods recommended to increase milk really work or am I wasting my time eating them?

The effect of foods claimed to boost milk varies from person to person. Dill, fennel, fenugreek, oats, almonds and similar foods might provide a slight increase for some mothers, but most don't have strong scientific backing. The real deciding factors are: frequent breastfeeding or pumping (8–12 times daily), adequate fluid intake (drink when thirsty), balanced nutrition, and low stress. There's no miracle food that magically increases milk. Eating these foods isn't wasteful, but don't expect magic from them alone. If your baby isn't gaining weight well or you see fewer wet diapers, seeing a lactation consultant or pediatrician is your best move.
