A. If you're experiencing low breast milk supply and your baby is taking Triomil Powder Stage 1 as a supplement, there are several steps you can take to help increase your milk supply: Frequent Nursing or Pumping: The more your baby nurses, the more signals your body gets to produce milk. Try to breastfeed as often as possible, even if it's just for short periods. If your baby is not nursing effectively, consider pumping after or between feedings to stimulate milk production. Stay Hydrated and Eat Well: Drinking plenty of water and eating a balanced diet is crucial for milk production. Include healthy fats, whole grains, and protein-rich foods like oats, nuts, seeds, and dairy in your diet. Skin-to-Skin Contact: Holding your baby close and engaging in skin-to-skin contact can stimulate your milk-producing hormones and improve milk flow. Consider Lactation-Boosting Foods: Some foods like fenugreek, fennel, garlic, oats, and brewer's yeast are believed to help increase milk production. Talk to your doctor before trying any supplements to ensure they’re safe. Reduce Stress: Stress can impact milk supply. Try to rest whenever possible and practice relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or light exercise. Ensure Proper Latch: Make sure your baby is latching correctly. A poor latch can result in ineffective milk removal, leading to a lower supply. A lactation consultant can help assess and improve your baby’s latch. If your milk supply remains low despite trying these methods, it's a good idea to consult with your pediatrician or a lactation consultant for further guidance and support.
