1. Nurse frequently: The more you breastfeed, the more your body will produce milk. Try to feed your baby on demand - every 1-3 hours if you can.
2. Use both breasts: Try to use each breast equally when feeding. If you've been favoring one breast, try to use the other one more.
3. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water and eat a balanced diet.
4. Rest: Getting enough sleep helps with milk production.
5. Avoid Stress: High stress levels can affect milk supply. Try to find time to relax.
6. Lactation consultant: Speaking with a consultant can provide personalized advice, they may also suggest herbs or medication to increase supply if necessary.
7. Pumping: Use a breast pump after breastfeeding or in-between feedings to stimulate more milk production.
It's also important to ensure your baby is latching correctly. A poor latch can result in your breasts not being emptied completely, which could lead to reduced milk production.
