#asktheexpert how to increase breast milk ? It’s been 2 months still I have less milk and I m giving formula to baby.

A. To increase breast milk supply, focus on frequent breastfeeding or pumping, as milk production works on a demand-supply basis. Ensure you’re feeding or pumping every 2-3 hours, including during the night. Stay hydrated, eat a balanced diet rich in proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats, and include lactation-boosting foods like fenugreek, fennel, oats, and almonds. Rest as much as possible and manage stress, as both can impact milk production. Skin-to-skin contact with your baby during feeding can also help stimulate milk flow. If the issue persists, consult a lactation consultant or doctor for additional support and recommendations.
