A. even if you eat and drink everything still there could be a delay for the breast milk supply to start and in the first couple of days there will be only very little secretion and it is called as colostrum which is very important for the child. keep taking high protein diet and also include foods like garlic spinach methi eggs in your diet

A. Hello dear! The more your baby suckles your breastmilk directly the better milk supply. Include seasonal fruits and vegetables, green leafy vegetables, nuts, dry fruits and dairy in the diet. Eat a well balanced healthy diet and keep yourself hydrated all through the day while breastfeeding your baby. Good luck and take care.
