Breastfeeding - Good Milk Supply

When you are breastfeeding you should have a good diet and plenty of fluids.

Let your baby decide when he needs to feed and when he has had enough. All breastfeeding counsellors agree that in order to produce enough milk, it is essential that the breasts are stimulated frequently during the first few weeks.

The more often she feeds and the more milk she takes at each feed, the more you will supply.  This is known as supply and demand.

As time goes on your baby’s feeds will become more predictable and she will be able to go for longer stretches between feeds.  Once your milk supply is established you can start getting your baby into a routine.
