Things to do
- Drink plenty of water, especially right before you nurse. Drink warm water before bed with lime or lemon keep it beside your bed.
- Eat oatmeal every day it you can ( I find this really helps)
- Spend a weekend in bed with your baby and nurse as much as possible.
- Express with a hospital grade breast pump preferable a double pump in-between feeds and also you can express when feeding your baby at the same time
- Try to unwind do not rush and sit back and relax.
- Alternate breast each feed
- Eat a healthy with plenty of protein.
Things to avoid
·
Avoid
pacifiers and bottles until breast feeding is properly establish
·
Avoid
taking birth control pills while you are breastfeeding if possible.
·
No
smoking
·
Try
to cut out caffeine.
- Don’t diet while you are breastfeeding. You can burn 500 carioles a day just by breastfeeding so don’t worry just yet.
For
premature baby’s or adoptive mother’s
·
If your baby needs to supplement, try
to use a nursing system or so that your baby can breastfeed as you supplement. If you do not know what it is here a description
below

| Medela Supplemental Nursing System (SNS) |
Supplemental
Nursing System (SNS) is a feeding tube device for giving premature, failure to
thrive, impaired or adopted babies long-term supplemental feedings at the
breast. Because it keeps the baby on the breast, the SNS avoids problems with
sustaining the milk supply, and problems with nipple confusion for the baby.
Natural herbs and teas that help to increases milk supply
- Fenugreek capsules – I saw an increase within 42 hours of 60%
- Fennel
- Milk Thistle
- Blessed Thistle
- Himalaya Shatavari
- Also you can try Mother's Milk Tea
They are many more but I
can only and will only suggest what I have tried and found effective do your research
and consult with a lactation consultant or your care provider. If you have any
question please contact me and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
