How to increase Breastmilk supply
First- Know the signs of low supply:
Baby may not be gaining weight
Baby not having enough wet or dirty diapers
Baby is fussy between feedings
What may cause you to not make enough milk
Mother may not be emptying breasts properly during each feeding
Baby is not emptying breasts properly
Mother is not consistent with feeding every 2-3 hours
Baby may have a Tongue tie or lip tie that may restrict the baby's ability to move its mouth properly due to the issue being attached either to the floor of the mouth or top lip.
Below is a picture of a lip tie (picture 1) and tongue tie ( picture2) . All ties can be revised if you so choose or you can still continue to breastfeed.
