To increase breast milk, feed your baby frequently and ensure proper latch, as regular emptying of the breast stimulates more production. Eat a balanced diet with adequate calories, protein (milk, eggs, pulses), healthy fats, and plenty of fluids; foods like whole grains, nuts, green leafy vegetables, and traditional galactagogues like Fenugreek may help. Get enough rest and reduce stress. If supply remains low, consult a doctor, who may consider medicines like Domperidone if appropriate.
