To boost breast milk production, focus on frequent nursing sessions with a good latch, staying hydrated, and maintaining a balanced diet rich in lactation-supporting foods like oats and fenugreek. Prioritize rest, consider pumping between feedings, and enjoy skin-to-skin contact with your baby. Managing stress is also crucial. Consulting a lactation consultant or healthcare provider can provide tailored guidance if needed.

Hey Here are some foods that can support breast feeding and lactation 1) Whole Grains: Whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, and barley provide complex carbohydrates for sustained energy and are rich in vitamins and minerals like B vitamins and zinc. 2) oats- oats are rich in iron and is a good source of energy. It also helps in increasing the milk production. 3) leafy greens- such as spinach and methi leaves are rich in calcium, iron, and other vitamins and minerals 4) lean protein - Lean protein sources such as poultry, lean beef, tofu, and eggs provide essential amino acids for both mother and baby's growth and development. 5) calcium rich foods - Dairy products like milk, yogurt, and cheese are excellent sources of calcium, which is essential for bone health in both mother and baby. 6) Fatty fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for brain development in infants. They also provide protein and vitamin D. This vitamin D can help in calcium absorption.

Hi there, I hope you are well. A healthy well balanced diet before, during, and after pregnancy will help in making breastfeeding a happy and easy journey for you and the baby. Here's what you must do. - Incorporate fibre, protein, and Omega 3 fatty acids in your diet. - For fibre, vegetables, fresh fruits, wholegrains, beans, lentils are great. - For protein opt for, lean meat ( chicken, and low-mercury fishes), dairy and dairy products, eggs, beans, lentils, seeds, and nuts. - Omega 3 fatty acids can come from foods like fish, flaxseeds, olive oil, walnuts, avocado, canola oil, etc. If you have been suggested some supplements, please take those as well. - Eat seasonal fruits, and vegetables, drink enough water, include foods rich in folate, iron, Vitamin A, calcium, iodine because these will form a good foundation for good health. Bell peppers, carrots, tomato, sweet potatoes, diary , leafy greens, beans, lean meat, nuts, seeds are good sources. I hope this helps, Take care ✨

Focus on making healthy choices to help fuel your milk production. Opt for protein-rich foods, such as lean meat, eggs, dairy, beans, lentils, and seafood low in mercury. Choose a variety of whole grains as well as fruits and vegetables.

Hey Foods like oats, fenugreek seeds, fennel seeds, and leafy greens are known to help in milk production. Supplements such as fenugreek capsules and brewer's yeast are commonly used to support milk production. But it is very important to discuss with a doctor or dietitian to choose supplements that meet your requirements

Hi there, I hope you are well. - It is safe to consume two small cups of coffee/tea in a day. - As per research and recent data 200mg of caffeine is considered to be safe and anything more than that may increase the risk of miscarriage. - So, moderate consumption of coffee is absolutely okay, and caffeine is also found in chocolates, and soda , so you need to be mindful about the consumption of these two as well :) - Read the labels before you purchase anything, especially during pregnancy.Energy drinks, chocolate milk, coffee ice-cream, diet cola are known to have caffeine. -Hence, it's best to mindful about the consumption of these as well during pregnancy. I hope this helps, Take care ✨✨

Anonymous・-6d

The general consensus is that moderate caffeine consumption during pregnancy is safe. Health authorities recommend limiting caffeine intake to 200 milligrams per day, which is roughly equivalent to one 12-ounce cup of coffee. However, it's best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice based on individual circumstances.

Hi there, I hope you are well. Alcohol present in the mother's blood can pass to the baby through the umbilical cord. If you are pregnant, then, it's best to avoid alcohol, as even little alcohol can affect the growth of your baby. So, there's no safe limit for alcohol in pregnancy and there is no safe alcohol as such :) All types of alcohols are harmful, including wine. Alcohol consumption is likely to increase the chances of premature birth, stillbirths, and various other disabilities. Hence, it's best to stay away from alcohol during pregnancy to avert issues that may affect the child in the long term :)

When transitioning from breastfeeding to formula milk, both cow milk and goat milk-based formulas are options. Cow milk formula is more commonly used and is nutritionally adequate for most infants. However, if your baby has trouble digesting cow milk, goat milk formula could be a suitable alternative. In terms of similarity to breast milk, both cow milk and goat milk formulas are fortified to mimic the nutrients found in breast milk. It's best to consult with your pediatrician to determine the most appropriate choice based on your baby's individual needs and any potential allergies or sensitivities.

I guess cow milk will be a good option as it's nutrition value is very good

@Mummalove by Diajadwani , I'm soon-to-be a first-time mom and I've noticed that I'm only producing a small amount of colostrum, which is the first milk that comes out of the breast. Is this normal? I'm curious about the typical range of colostrum production in first-time mothers and whether the quantity I'm experiencing falls within that range.

Yes, it's normal for colostrum production to vary among first-time mothers. The quantity you're experiencing likely falls within the typical range.

Anonymous・7d

Congratulations dear 🥳🥳 This is normal and usually isn't a cause for concern, but let your doctor know. While babies don't need more than colostrum for the first few days, the doctor may need to make sure your baby's getting enough to eat. It can help to breastfeed often during this time to stimulate your milk production

Don't worry gal, it's absolutely normal. Your baby will get the sufficient amount of milk and will face no problem. ❤️

Seemachaudhary・7d

Yes, it's normal to have a small amount of colostrum initially. Your milk supply typically increases as your baby's demand grows.
