POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy5 months agoA. Congratulations on your pregnancy! It’s great that you’re already thinking ahead about breastfeeding. During your third month, your body is naturally preparing for milk production, but here are a few things you can do now to support good milk supply after delivery:
Eat a nutritious, balanced diet – Focus on foods rich in protein, healthy fats, calcium, and iron. Include leafy greens, whole grains, nuts, fruits, and dairy. Stay hydrated – Drink plenty of water throughout your pregnancy to support overall body functions. Get enough rest and manage stress – Hormonal balance is key to milk production, and rest plays a big role. Breast massage (after the second trimester) – Gentle massage can increase blood flow to the breasts and prepare the tissues. Avoid smoking, alcohol, and unnecessary medications – These can affect your future milk supply. Learn about breastfeeding now – Understanding proper latching, feeding cues, and positioning will help you feel more confident later.
Right now, just focus on taking care of your body and baby. After birth, regular breastfeeding or pumping is the most effective way to increase milk supply. If you ever need help, lactation consultants can be very supportive.
