    There are some nutrients like iron, folate, and calcium responsible for boosting breast milk secretion. To extract these nutrients fenugreek water, cumin seed water, or green leafy soup can be included in your drinks. You just have to soak 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds or fenugreek seeds in one glass of water and drink that in the morning.

    Barley, oats, sesame seeds, apricots, and milk tends to elevate breast milk secretion. As, these food sources are packed with beta-glucan, calcium, iron, and certain vitamins including vitamin A, Vitamin C, etc. These nutrients enhance the secretion of prolactin and oxytocin hormones responsible for breast milk production and secretion.

    Breast milk is of great significance to keep your baby healthy and boost his immunity. You may start pumping breast milk and giving bottles at least after one month to one and half months of delivery. In case of a premature baby or other health complications, you are advised to seek guidance from your doctor. (pediatrician)

    In the early stage of his life, it is advised to feed after every 1-2 hours, and each feeding should last up to 20-25 min. As the baby gets older the intervals of feeding may be increased to 2-3 hours. The baby can get enough milk in 10-15 min once he learns the way to suck efficiently.

    Also, the mother’s health and breast milk secretion decide the interval and duration of feeding. An unhealthy and malnourished mother is unable to produce enough milk to feed her baby. You need to consult your doctor in such cases.
