I am taking Haliv ladu, Dinka ladu and ghee . if anybody of u know any particular diet .pls tell me.i will be very thankful. Ritu replied. Hi Parnjal,

There are times when we feel the milk supply is less..when it actually is ok as after a while our breats don't feel as full..The best way to check is to see the number of wet nappies u have and also weight gain per week.. On days when u feel your milk is not enough the best thing to do would be to feed every 2 hours (if u feel number of wet nappies has gone down). Also don't worry too much about 1 or 2 less milk days as long as weight gain is fine. Other importnat thing to increase the supply is rest. Try and sleep during the day and your milk supply will go up. Try and avoid the formula..Good luck.. Anu replied. Hi Pranjal,
Fry garlic in little bit of ghee and have it with rice. Thats will increase the milk supply.Like VIndhya said drink lot of fluid and try to drink something 15 minutes b4 feeding which will help.

hope this helps

Anu Vindhya replied. Hi Pranjal,

Sorry, I don't know of any home-made remedies. But, would suggest drinking lot of fluids. Also, try pumping.

Good luck,
Vindhya Avi replied. Hey Pranjal, Boiling fenugreek & cumin seeds in water and drinking it does help increase one's milk supply from what i've read....

Also, we get fenugreek capsules at GNC, taking those will help too... and since fenugreek is a herb, we can be certain that we will not have any adverse effects from it...

Others might have better suggestions...

Good luck
