A. One commonly recommended supplement to potentially increase breast milk supply is fenugreek. However, it's important to note that the effectiveness of any supplement may vary depending on the individual. It is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before taking any supplements, as they can provide personalized guidance based on your specific needs and medical history. Breast milk production works on a supply and demand principle. The more frequently and thoroughly a baby breastfeeds, the more signals are sent to the body to produce milk. The hormone oxytocin plays a crucial role in milk production. It is released during breastfeeding, stimulating the letdown reflex and promoting milk flow. Additionally, prolactin is another hormone responsible for milk production. The more the breasts are stimulated, the more milk-producing cells are activated, leading to increased milk supply.
