How can I make more milk?

Proper latch-on

Note the correct nursing position (see below) with your baby's tummy facing your tummy. When your baby opens his mouth as wide as a yawn, quickly push his head well onto the breast. With a proper latch, your baby should get as much of the areola in his mouth as possible. You can see your baby’s lower lip flanged out with his chin touching your breast ("fishy lips"). If one of their lips is tucked in, or if you hear any sucking noises, they are signs of a bad latch, and you need to take your baby's lips off and let him latch on again. Some may try to correct the baby's latch while the baby's head is on the breast by gently flanged out his upper and lower lips, and gently pushing his chin downward to make his mouth open wider. But it may not always succeed. Then simply take your baby off (by slipping your finger into the corner of his mouth) and let him latch on again until he has a proper latching. Be patient. NEVER let your baby nurse with a bad latch. A poor latch is the cause of most breastfeeding problems. A bad latch will hurt your nipples.
