How can I increase my milk supply?

Interview with minsaude.pt

The best way to increase the amount of milk is to put the baby to the breast often, and the baby must breastfeed effectively.

Baby sucking is the best stimulus for milk production.

Milk production occurs this way... Every time the baby sucks, a message is sent to the brain, then a hormone is released into the bloodstream that reaches the breast and causes milk to be produced. And then for the milk to come out of the breast, another hormone acts. The process of producing breast milk is always this.

A breastfeeding mother does not need to eat special foods or drink more water; she must eat a healthy diet and drink water to quench her thirst.

The baby has periods that we call growth spurts in which he grows more and therefore needs more milk, so he needs to breastfeed more often.

These periods occur more or less 15 days after birth, at 2 months and at 4 to 6 months. During these periods, it often occurs  weaning. And it is not justified, as what is needed is for the mother to put the baby to the breast more often to satisfy the baby's needs and at the same time increase milk production.
