Increasing breast milk

To determine whether your milk supply is sufficient or not, there are a few pointers to note. First, count the number of times your baby passes urine in a day. Adequately fed babies pass urine 6 times or more in a 24 hour period. Next, a well fed baby sleeps soundly after a feed. Also you can monitor your baby's weight when you visit your doctor who will guide you if baby's weight gain is adequate and thus indicate if feeding is adequate.
Next Steps
In case your milk output is less, there are certain medications that your doctor can prescribe to increase your milk production.
Eating a healthy diet consisting of a lot of green leafy vegetables will also increase milk output.
