women have severe morning sickness for weeks, some feel tired every day during
the pregnancy. These different types extend to breastfeeding. Some new moms
have rich sources of breast milk, some just have enough milk to feed their
babies; others struggle for the need of their children. If you want to have

The more time you breast feed, the more milk your body secretes.
Pump milk usually. It’s like your body will produce more
milk after your children strip the current source of milk; your body will
produce more milk after the breast pump take all the milk. A document from
Oregon Health and Science University shows that women who raise infants should
pump milk at least 8 times a day or in 100 minutes in total in each 24 hours
using medical-grade standard.
Drink plenty of water. Drinking water will help your body
secrete more milk. The general instruction is “drink when thirsty” – drink
whenever you feel thirsty. If you’re in trouble in consuming enough water,
drink something you like. Since you like the taste of a drink, there’re chances
you drink more of it. However, it’d be better you stick with healthy options.
Consider fruit juice, vegetable juice, non-caffeine tea, water or flavored
milk.
Drink a plenty of
water.
Rest and eat healthy foods. Having a plenty of rest with an
infant in the house sounds easier than done. However, your body needs much
energy to produce milk. For that reason, spending time resting ensures your
body stays adjusted to the task. Eating healthy foods also helps provide your
body with energy.
Take fenugreek supplements. The herb is often used by moms
breastfeeding to help themselves produce more milk, and it has been used for
ages. A document from the University of Washington Medical Center shows that
mothers who wanted to produce more milk often take the supplement 3 times a
day, once in the morning, once in lunch and the other in the evening. Fenugreek
isn’t recommended for pregnant women or people who are on blood-thinning
medication. Before take the fenugreek, talk to a doctor or nutrition
specialist.
