When breastfeeding, many mothers believe that they are short on milk. There are a few methods to find out if this is the case. The easiest method is that if your child is gaining weight, you are producing enough milk. In this case, your breastfeeding diet probably doesn’t need much tweaking.
You Can Try Changing Your Breastfeeding Diet
However, if you still think that you are not producing enough milk you can change up your breastfeeding diet to see if that makes a difference. If your child doesn’t seem to be gaining weight then there are a number of ways to increase your supply.
One way to produce more milk: eat healthier meals with nutrient dense ingredients. Foods high in fiber like oatmeal are the perfect start. We put together a list of recipes with ingredients thought to help breastfeeding mothers produce more milk.
