How to boost milk supply

My midwife suggested eating oats or flapjack and drinking fennel tea! I haven't tried either yet.

Hi hun,

Breast milk is a funny thing!

As it very much so is a supply and demand. The more milk is expressed/drunken the more your body will produce theoretically.

Your milk supply usually fully regenerates within an hour, I would suggest to express/pump in between feeds so that your body can get used to the new demand and supply the required amount.

Please do make sure that you’re having enough fluids throughout the day, balanced diet and plenty of rest which is the most important thing 😊

doing both doesn’t seem to be doing anything for me 😫
