How can I make more milk?

Breastfeed FREQUENTLY

The more your baby suckles, the more milk you can make! When your baby suckles your breasts, signals will be sent to the brain and stimulate release of the hormones that produces more milk from your breasts. On the first day, you have to breastfeed your baby at least 3 to 4 times. From second day onwards, your baby will be more awake and you may increase the frequency of feeds to 8 to 12 times a day round the clock. Just breastfeed according to your baby's demand, even at night time.

The first 3 days after birth – “Colostrum”

Starting from late pregnancy, your breast produces colostrum for the newborn baby
The amount of colostrum is small and you won’t feel fullness in the breasts

The 3rd to 4th day after birth – “Milk comes-in”

With the changes in hormones, more milk is produced on the 3rd to 4th day after birth and you may feel fullness of your breasts. “Colostrum” gradually changes to “mature milk” afterwards

4 to 6 weeks after birth -“Calibration period”

Your baby gradually develops a regular suckling pattern. Breastmilk will be produced according to your baby’s demand
