How to Increase Milk Supply Naturally: The Basics
Remember: A breastfeeding relationship is based on a foundation of supply and demand. Be sure you’re also following the guidelines below:
Nurse, nurse, nurse…
There’s nothing that can increase breastmilk supply like your baby’s suckling. You see, breast milk creation is all about supply and demand, and it’s a tightly regulated system.
Don’t worry if your breasts don’t feel full or think baby isn’t getting much milk, the sucking reflex will help stimulate more milk in the long run. So, anytime you can, bring your baby to the breast and let him nurse, nurse, nurse.
Nurse skin-to-skin
When you do nurse, go skin-to-skin. Take off your shirt and bra and keep baby in just a diaper. Wrap a blanket around the two of you and nurse away.
This practice is not only incredibly bonding for mama and baby, it also helps release more of the hormones that produce milk, as well as the milk ejector hormones. Continue this practice during nap time, bedtime, and throughout night.
Put no time limit on nursing sessions
If you are struggling with supply, it’s best not to schedule feedings or limit how much time baby is on each breast. Try to give baby both breasts during each feeding for more overall production. Take a “nursing vacation,” and spend the weekend in bed with baby, nursing as much as possible.
Don’t use pacifiers and bottles
Pacifiers and bottles not only satisfy baby’s oral stimulation, but can also reduce hunger, making baby less likely to nurse.
Get enough sleep and stay relaxed
Easier said than done with a newborn, but try as best you can. Studies show that mothers produce more milk and have a better milk letdown when they are calm and relaxed.
Nap when baby naps.
If you can, get a babysitter, neighbor or family member to help out.
Cancel or eliminate too many outside activities and keep things simple.
Order takeout or ask someone else to cook a nutritious meal.
Listen to tranquil music, think of flowing streams and trust that you can and will successfully nurse your baby.
Make sure latch is right
If your baby can’t efficiently drain the breast, you may have problems with supply since the breast isn’t stimulated enough. It can be as simple as correcting a bad latch or addressing any anatomical issues that are preventing a good latch from a baby being lip tied, tongue tied, or mama having inverted nipples.
The good news is most of these issues can be corrected, so baby and mom can breastfeed successfully. If you’re having any issues in this department, it’s best to see a lactation consultant or seek out your local La Leche League chapter.

Fantastic tips, thanks for sharing!
My breasts do not respond to a pump (except a hospital grade which I cannot afford) so with my third baby coming in august I plan on wrapping and nursing all day 👍🏼
That’s an excellent plan!!!
Blessed thistle works. I went from making 6 oz at night from one breast to making 9oz
It definitely works for some mamas!
Fenugreek really does work 😊
What about breastfeeding when one has pierced their nipples when they were an angsty teenager? Is it going to effect milk production?
All my baby’s were sleepy babies lol they fall asleep after about thirty seconds 🤣
Awesome!!!
Oooh! Good tips to mammies.
♥️♥️♥️
Is using a haaka on opposite side of baby a good thing to do to start a supply when you do not respond to a pump?!
It can be, yes!
Do you have a vegan homemade formula recipe?
We cannot endorse homemade formula due to the ingredients not being guaranteed to meet a baby’s nutritional needs. There are several great vegan formulas on the market though!
@@mamanatural oh I understand! What are your recommendations? My breastfeeding journey isn’t going well and I’m supplementing with soy and I just am finding out how bad it is for her. Please help. Thank you!
So do you recommend making the homemade formula that is on your website?
@@destinypalka9243
somethings that helped me make alot of milk was tea from amazon and tinctures. Fenugreek, blessed thistle n redraspberry and I drank alot of water. I hope this helps
I didn’t see the tips for the healthy homemade formula 😅
;-)
@@mamanatural Is it on your website ? Or did I overlook it?
I would just like to say ou should make a vedio about mom suing thier kids for clout on youtube and people should stay away from it since, a lot of people are sexualizing it, the comments are 🔥and stuff of that nature, many moms are missusing it to promote sites, the proble isn't the promoting thier sites or breastfeeding thier child the problem is when they add these 2 things together and know what they are doing, also nice vedio.
