This is how to increase your milk supply
- Pump your breasts after as many daily breastfeedings as possible, especially if you are uncertain whether your baby is effectively removing milk during breastfeeding. Many women find that trying for 8 times per day is manageable and helpful for their milk supply.
- Pumping will remove milk effectively, so your breasts will know to make more milk. Pumping will also express supplemental milk for feeds. Milk can be removed from the breast by manual hand expression, a hand pump, a battery-powered pump, or an electric breast pump. If frequent and prolonged pumping is anticipated, a hospital-grade, electric pump can be very helpful.
