I eat some foods said to increase milk production, but I'm not sure if they really increase supply.

The effects of foods known to increase milk supply (such as oats, fennel, dill, dates, water intake) vary from person to person. According to current pediatric consensus, no single food guarantees increased milk production. The main determining factors are frequent and effective nursing by your baby (or regular pumping) and adequate fluid intake for you. You can include these foods as part of a balanced diet, but rather than expecting miraculous results, focusing on nursing frequency and your own rest will be more effective.
