Breastfeeding the baby is the most important and common way to increase the breast milk production in a mother. The more the mother breastfeeds, a stimulation is sent to the brain that more milk production is required and there is  release of hormones and some secretion. Night breastfeeding is important as it releases a hormone called prolactin which increases the milk secretion. When the baby is sleeping for three to four hours, it is vital to express the milk as it releases a hormone in the brain that stimulates the nipples and as a result increases the production of milk. The other method is to stay hydrated and consume three to four liters of fluids daily which can include soup or juices. There should be a good bond with the baby that involves skin to skin contact as this releases maternal hormones that leads to increase in milk production. Additionally, there are some medicines and home remedies that can be used. The most important step is to not take stress as it releases a hormone from the brain that decreases the milk supply. If there are doubts and questions, they can always consult a pediatrician.Dr. Bhavya Kukreja, pediatrician from Delhi, discusses how to increase breast milk production
