Dear parents ,
When baby suck the nipple a stimuli go to brain (pituitary gland) from there prolactin harmone &oxytocin harmone is released.
Prolactin increases milk production &oxytocin harmone releases milk.
So to increase milk production, a positive feelings &total concentration while feeding is necessary.
Milk contain 80percent water, so adequate hydration in your body is required.
Drink adequate liquids before &during feeding.
