How to increase Breast milk - #9744

Though we don’t regularly advise medications for helping lactation but I believe breastfeeding is the first thing which connects mother to her infant. Now for non medical management part 1. Correct position and breastfeeding techniques https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Breastfeeding-techniques-and-Burping-Positions_fig1_364305561 2. It is advised to take no stress which means you should be calm everytime. 3. Keep trying even if no milk is being poured out from any breast 4. Trying emptying breast manually As far medication is involved Take 1. Tablet Domstal 10mg three times a day until optimal breast milk comes out from each breast 2. Lactogranules- put it in milk PS- Tablet Domstal can have a side effect- causing your neck to turn at one side. It is quite common side effect. In case you experience such side effect stop the medication and don’t panic it will become normal after sometime. Hope it solves your query Thank you
