#asktheexpert my wife is not getting enough milk

A. If your wife is not producing enough breast milk, it is important to ensure she is well-hydrated, eating a nutritious diet, and getting enough rest. Foods like fenugreek, oats, fennel seeds, and dry fruits can help boost milk supply. Frequent breastfeeding or pumping can also stimulate more production. Reducing stress and ensuring skin-to-skin contact with the baby can be beneficial. If the milk supply remains low, consulting a lactation consultant or doctor can help identify any underlying issues and suggest the right approach, including possible supplementation if needed.
