How to increase your baby's milk supply

Babies of different ages have different nutritional requirements. As they grow older and their activity level increases, their nutritional needs will also increase, and the amount of milk must also increase. It cannot remain unchanged. If the baby's nutritional needs are not met, it will affect the baby's physical development. If the milk supply is insufficient, the baby may become hungry easily, and experience adverse reactions such as sleep, mood, and slow development. So how can we judge whether the baby's milk supply is sufficient and increase the milk supply for the baby correctly?

To determine whether the baby is getting enough milk, you can observe the following aspects: if the baby's weight and height have not increased after a period of continuous feeding, or the baby has fallen behind the height and weight that should be expected for this age group, or the frequency of bowel movements has decreased and the stool is drier, it means that the baby is not getting enough milk and you need to increase the amount of milk for the baby.

If your baby doesn't want to eat, don't force him/her, otherwise it will only create a rebellious psychology and lead to anorexia. When feeding the baby, parents can increase the amount of milk for the baby according to a gradual process. During the period of increasing the amount of milk, they should always observe the baby's digestion, whether the bowel movements are normal, appetite, sleepiness and other aspects, and slowly find the appropriate amount of milk for the baby.

Every child develops physically differently, so when considering the amount of milk your baby needs, don't compare it with other children. If you are not sure whether your baby is getting enough milk, you can refer to and compare the milk volume data of some different age groups to find the appropriate amount of milk for your baby.
