Mother's milk is the best food for small children. Breast milk contains essential nutrients for the development of the child. Milk is the only source of nutrition for the child for 6 months after birth, so it is necessary to have enough milk from the breast. But, many women complain that there is less milk in the breast after delivery. This happens due to health problems like stress, diabetes, thyroid, high BP etc.
Due to negligence towards food and drink, the production of milk in the breast of many women is less. But you do not have to worry, because today we are telling you about 2 ways to increase breast milk. This information has been shared by DrSheeba Mittal of Well Women Clinic.
Expert says, “If you are worried that your baby is not getting enough milk, you are not alone. Milk production is less in the breast of many women like you. However, with the help of some easy tips, breast milk can be increased.
1. Get more and more breastfeeding
Breastfeed the baby several times a day and do so until the baby stops drinking milk on its own. When your baby breastfeeds, then some hormones are released from your breast, which motivates the breast to make milk.
Therefore, the more you breastfeed, the more milk is produced in your breast.
2. Increase water intake
Breastfeeding women should drink a sufficient amount of water. Breast milk has a high water content, so if you do not drink 2 to 3 litres of water daily, increasing breast milk can be challenging for you.
In addition, there is a lack of liquid in the body with each feeding. Staying hydrated keeps water and electrolytes in the body. They help in increasing the milk supply.
Caution
If you are finding it difficult to breastfeed or are worried about milk production, consult a gynecologist immediately.
