Breastfeeding foods produce milk
Hello
I am looking for some helpful information from doctors
We have 1 month baby
He is our first baby
My wife has C-section operation
My wife says not getting enough milk for baby
So we need feed few times from formula
But we want to give only mother's milk daily
We are confused from online sources what foods to eat more and more without causing trouble to baby health
Can you please suggest best foods to eat daily to produce much much milk
Thanks 🙏 for your response
Greetings
Jany

Proper latching and breastfeeding itself increases production of the milk. If baby passes urine 6-8 times a day then he/she is having enough milk for feed. Other thn that u ensure your hydration plenty of fluid. Balanced diet including fruits, vegetables,whole grains, all should be consumed. Maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Next Steps
After all this if u think that baby is not getting enough milk thn u can use formula milk in proper dilution and proper hygiene 2-3 times a day with your breast milk.
