What should I do if my breast milk is not coming?

Question

Some days, I have been experiencing a decrease in the amount of breast milk that is being produced. Currently, there seems to be no milk coming at all. What steps can I take to address this issue and increase my breast milk supply?

Answer 1

Pump, just make sure you have the right flange size, even if nothing comes out it triggers the body to make more. Try even power pumping (pump for 20 minutes or until milk stops flowing, rest for 10, pump for 10, rest for 10, pump for 10 so it's about an hour in total). And if your baby is latching then even try latching as often as possible. And lots of skin to skin contaxt with baby

Answer 2

Try eating some roasted peanuts daily or groundnuts .

Hope this will help.

Answer 3

Eat overnight soaked fenugreek at empty stomach which will help you to produce milk. Try to eat dry fish ( in tamil we call karuvaadu ) frequently which will help you to produce milk.. Consulte with lactation doctor or gynecologist , they might give you supplements to produce milk which definitely will help you.
