Breastfeeding

BOOSTING YOUR MILK FLOW

Sometimes it takes a few minutes or even longer for your milk to begin to flow.

  • Having your baby or something to remind you of your baby nearby helps the milk flow.
  • Having skin to skin or wearing your baby in a wrap sling can also help to boost your breastfeeding hormones.
  • Some mothers find it difficult to express large amounts of milk. This does not mean that this is the amount of milk your baby gets at the breast.
