Low Milk Suply

Breastfeeding is a beautiful and natural way to nourish your baby, but sometimes, concerns about milk supply can arise. Understanding the potential causes of low milk supply can help you address and overcome these challenges.

Here are some common factors that can impact milk supply:

Infrequent Nursing or Pumping: Breastfeeding works on a supply-and-demand basis. The more you nurse or pump, the more milk your body produces.

Poor Latch: An improper latch can prevent your baby from effectively removing milk, signaling your body to produce less.

Stress and Fatigue: High stress levels and lack of sleep can affect your milk production. Prioritizing self-care and rest is crucial.

Certain Medications: Some medications can interfere with milk production. Always check with your healthcare provider.

Hormonal Imbalances: Conditions like thyroid issues or PCOS can impact your milk supply. Consult with your healthcare provider if you suspect this.

Dehydration and Poor Nutrition: Staying hydrated and maintaining a balanced diet are essential for adequate milk production.
