How to increase breast milk naturally at home

All mothers are anatomically equipped to feed their babies and there is no such thing as mother’s milk that does not suit a newborn: the milk the breasts produce is the baby’s natural food and he will not reject it.

There is no such a thing as a mother physically incapable of feeding her baby: the size of your breasts bears no relation to the amount of milk that you can produce although breast enlargement or reduction surgery can affect the ability to breastfeed.

Milk is produced in deeply buried glands, not the fatty tissue of the breasts, so don’t worry if your breasts are rather small: they are adequate. The amount of milk that you produce is dependent on how much your baby takes, hence the expression supply and demand. For example, if your baby’s appetite is not very great then your breasts will not produce very much milk because they’re not being stimulated by your newborn to do so. If your baby is a voracious feeder, your breasts will respond and produce more milk. The quantity of milk available for your infant will fluctuate throughout the whole time that you breastfeed, according to how much your baby takes.

If your baby is hungry half an hour after being fed, don’t worry. Your breasts will have produced some milk for your baby to feed on, and they’ll soon build up a supply for his new needs. When the need for more feeds slows down the breasts will produce less.

A newborn needs 60-100ml (2-3 ½ floz) of milk per 500g (11b) of body weight, so a 3.5kg (71b-11oz) baby will need 400-650ml (14—24floz) daily. Your breasts each produces 40-60ml (11/2—2floz) of milk in three hours so your daily output of 700-1000ml (24—35floz) is ample.
How to increase breast milk naturally at home

How to increase breast milk after delivery

Breastfeeding is a strictly demand-and-supply proposition. Put simply, your baby demands your breast milk and your body supplies it. The more times your baby nurses (demands breast milk) the more available and abundant your milk (supply) will be for him.

This delicate process is true throughout the course of your nursing span. Your breasts will

alter how much milk they make as your baby goes in and out of growth spurts, producing more milk as he needs it. As your baby begins to add solids, your body will slowly decrease the amount of milk it produces.

It is remarkable how well your body can adjust in terms of milk supply once you and your baby have established your nursing relationship. Over time, your body will become more adept at producing milk and responding to your baby’s needs on cue. Eventually, your supply can easily vary on an even daily basis, producing more or less milk as needed, according to your baby’s hunger levels at the moment.

Most women who breast-feed their babies produce enough milk. If you’re worried that you may or may not be producing enough milk for your baby, look for the following clues:

Day one: One wet diaper

Day two: Two wet diapers

Day three: Three wet diapers

Day four: Four wet diapers

After that point: Five to six wet diapers per day and at least three to four yellowish stools

If you are concerned that your baby may not be getting enough milk, talk to your health care provider. She may suggest bringing your baby in for a checkup so that baby’s latch can be monitored, his weight can be checked, and he can be assessed for overall signs of health and well-being.

Certain types of breast-augmentation or reduction procedures can damage nerves in the breasts and cut the milk ducts, reducing the milk supply.

How to increase breast milk home remedies

If you need to build up your milk supply because your baby has been losing weight or not gaining weight adequately, your health care provider will likely recommend that you:

breast-feed your baby at least eight times per day and that you offer each breast at least once at each feeding and express milk after your baby has finished feeding in order to stimulate your breasts to produce more milk

focus on improving your baby’s latch in case he’s not getting very much milk for all the effort he’s putting into nursing

keep your baby awake until he has nursed actively for at least 10 minutes at each breast

talk to your health care provider about prescription and herbal products that can be used to boost your milk supply

If you’ve had surgery on your breasts, find out the specifics of that surgery. Recent surgical advances have led to better outcomes for women who have gone on to breast-feed their babies. Your health care provider should be able to provide you with information about your odds of providing your baby with a full or partial milk supply. If you can’t provide enough milk on your own, a lactation aid (basically a tube taped to your breast) can allow your baby to receive additional nutrition while breast-feeding.

Drugs designed to dry up milk production are not safe and should be avoided.

A natural way to help dry up the milk supply is to drink 2 to 3 cups of sage tea per day.

How to prevent and treat sore nipples for breastfeeding

**How to prevent and treat sore nipples for breastfeeding**

Painful nipples are the most common reason for women giving up breastfeeding. However, there are ways to avoid them. Make sure your baby is correctly positioned and properly latched on, and never pull your baby off the nipple (see. How to breastfeed a baby). Ask your health visitor for advice if you have problems. Keep your nipples as dry as possible between feeds and make sure they are dry before putting your bra back on. If they do become cracked, ointment, such as Vaseline, may be helpful. You can also try using a nipple shield. This is made of soft silicone and fits over your nipple. The baby sucks through a small teat on the front; sterilize it before use. See the bast equipment for sore nipples.

Toddler sleep training

Most toddlers will sleep an average of about 11 hours through the night, and will make up any extra sleep that they need in naps. If your baby needed a lot of sleep in the first year he’ll probably continue to do so เท the second; if he needed little sleep, then this trend will continue, too.

Although he sleeps through the night he’ll still need two naps a day. How long these naps last will depend, as before, on your baby. What may change this year will be the times at which he wants to take the nap. For example, you may find that the nap that he used to take at around 9-9.30 am gets later and later. This means he’ll want to sleep immediately after lunch, at around 30 or 2 pm. On other days, however, he may take a nap late in the morning but then not want another one until the middle of the afternoon.

As far as these changes are concerned, you have to take the lead from your baby; there’s no point in trying to make him sleep to order and you’ll have to accept that the napping pattern varies from day to day. Fit into the baby’s routine so that if he establishes a pattern whereby he gets sleepy towards 11.30 am and wants to have a nap around noon, you start having lunch around 11.30. He’ll then be able to have a satisfying nap after lunch, and you’ll have a much less grumpy baby. Alternatively, you could wait until he wakes up before having lunch – it depends on your baby.

Around the age of 15 months your toddler will reach a period where two naps a day are too many and one nap a day is not quite enough. He’ll happily play through the first nap, but because he can’t last without sleep until the second one he has to have a later nap than usual. This inevitably means that he’s alert enough to go through the usual afternoon one, but then because he’s too tired to last out until bedtime he has to go to bed early. As with everything else in childcare, you have to be flexible. The period where he has to drop one nap will be brief and he’ll soon sort out his own napping routine. By the end of the second year he’ll probably take a single nap at the end of the morning, or in the afternoon.

Until he settles into a napping routine do make sure that he is having adequate rest during the day. Even if he doesn’t seem to be all that tired and is rushing around, eager to learn new games or play with exciting toys, it’s quite easy for him to become over-tired. Keep an eye on your child and if he becomes bad-tempered or fretful, or shows a sudden lack of co-ordination then make sure he rests or plays a quiet game.

Whenever your toddler takes a nap, give him a chance to wake up gently from it. It may be a restorative sleep, but he’s unlikely to wake up perfectly refreshed and active. He’ll need a quarter of an hour or so of being cuddled and talked to gently and quietly before he’s ready to be active again. If you have to go out immediately after your toddler’s nap, make sure that you leave enough time for the recovery of his good humour.

HELPING YOUR TODDLER TO SLEEP

Toddler sleep training : During the day

Make up a nap time box for your child with favourite toys and books that he can look at as he gets sleepy before a nap. Don’t leave good or expensive books – they may get ripped up. Leave board books or old books. A good alternative is to make up your own books by pasting interesting pictures from magazines on to board and then covering them with clear acetate.

Give your child a occasional treat by letting him take a nap in your bed, or somewhere near you.

If your child won’t take a nap, make sure that he has a rest time where he is calm and quiet.

If your toddler won’t go to sleep, put on a long- playing tape. Teach your child that the rest time is not over until the music stops.

Toddler sleep training : In the evening

Don’t put your child to bed immediately after an exciting game or rough-and-tumble – he will have great difficulty settling down, which will be frustrating for you. Give him 10-15 minutes to quieten down, sitting with you watching TV or looking at a book.

Even a small child likes looking at a book in bed so, if your baby is quite happy, leave him with a favourite, non-scary book.

Put a dab of your perfume or aftershave on to your child’s pillow and suggest that he breathes it in deeply. Deep breathing is relaxing and calming and will help your child go off to sleep.

Give your toddler a bath before bedtime and follow this with a warm drink and a story in bed.

Healthy dinner ideas for kids and adults

family mealtime is something that’s fallen by the wayside, and our culture has forgotten that sitting down to eat together as a family unit is a time for interaction and good communication. We encourage you to make family dinnertime a priority in your home — it leads to healthy eating, good mealtime behaviors, and consistent communication. With that said, many parents find dinnertime frustrating with kids. It’s not unusual for toddlers to eat a good breakfast, a decent lunch, but not eat much at dinner. So don’t be overly concerned if your toddler tends to pick at her dinner. She’ll eat if she’s hungry.

Limit juice and milk intake between meals and have snacks far enough before planned meals to allow your child to come to the table hungry enough to eat. Give water for drinks throughout the day because water is less likely to fill your child up. This dinner section presents some healthy recipes for your kids (and your family) to enjoy.

*Healthy dinner ideas for kids and adults*

Tofu and Pasta Dinner

Pasta is a great food for toddlers because it’s a great source of energy (although at times you may want your child to have less energy), and tofu is a healthy alternative to other protein sources. You’ll find this recipe quick and healthy for the whole family. The leftovers (if you have any) also freeze well.

Preparation time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 10 minutes

Yield: Seven 1-cup servings

4 cups dry pasta (any variety, but orzo is easy for children to eat)

8 ounces tofu, diced (not silken tofu — it won’t brown)

3 teaspoons olive oil

1 medium zucchini, grated

Salt to taste

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain water.

In a medium saucepan, sauté the tofu in the olive oil until the tofu is slightly brown. The tofu will be wet and doesn’t brown easily. Sautéing for 4 to 5 minutes is enough, even if the tofu doesn’t seem to brown up.

Add the zucchini, cover, and steam for 10 minutes or until the zucchini is soft.

Add the pasta, stir, and remove from the heat. Serve warm.

Tip: If the dish seems a bit dry, add a little more olive oil. You can also add a bit of shredded cheese for extra flavor.

Red Beans and Rice

Red Beans and Rice can be a staple meal for toddlers because it’s high in protein and complex carbs for energy. This dish also avoids the spice of many common versions. As an added bonus, this dish freezes beautifully for a quick thaw and reheat for later use.

Preparation time: 25 minutes

Cooking time: 1 hour

Yield: Ten 1-cup servings

2 tablespoons vegetable oil for sautéing

1⁄2 cup onion, chopped

2 cups hot water

15 1⁄2 ounces canned kidney beans, drained

2 chicken bouillon cubes

2 cups minute rice, uncooked (or any quickcook rice)

Pour the oil in a large saucepan and add the onion. Sauté the onion until it’s slightly brown. Stir in the water, beans, and bouillon. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Stir in the rice and cover for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Serve warm.

Vary It! If you want to bump up the protein, add precooked crumbled soy sausage (less spicy than regular sausage) to this recipe after you remove from the heat.

Veggie Fritters

This recipe provides another creative way to help your child eat veggies. Serve this dish not only as dinner but also as a side dish, or freeze the extra portions as a snack — to be served hot or cold later.

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 10 minutes

Yield: About 7 servings (2 fritters per serving)

1 cup carrots, peeled and grated

1⁄2 cup zucchini, grated

1⁄2 cup yellow squash, grated

2⁄3 cup potatoes, grated

2 tablespoons flour

Vegetable oil for frying

Salt to taste

Mix the veggies in a bowl with the flour.

Form the mixture into 15 round fritters with your hands and place on a clean plate.

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan and fry the fritters for about 5 minutes (21⁄2 minutes on each side) on medium-high heat until fritters are golden brown on each side. You can cook about three fritters at a time. After 3 batches, add more oil.

Remove each fritter from the pan and place it on a plate covered with paper towel in order to absorb the excess grease. Lightly sprinkle with the salt. Serve warm or cold.

Apple-and-Turkey Meatballs

Apple-and-Turkey Meatballs use ground turkey meat — a healthy alternative and a great source of protein! Toddlers generally eat these meatballs because the turkey is tasty and meatballs are fun finger foods. Your child may also find meatballs fun to play with. Beware a flying meatball at dinnertime!

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 10 to 15 minutes

Yield: 8 servings (3 meatballs per serving)

1 pound ground turkey

1 onion, finely chopped

3 tablespoons fresh breadcrumbs

1 small apple, peeled and finely chopped

1 egg, beaten

2 tablespoons thyme

Flour for coating

2 teaspoons vegetable oil

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, mix the turkey, onion, breadcrumbs, apple, egg, and thyme.

Coat your hands with flour and use your hands to form 24 small meatballs. Spread more flour on a plate and roll the meatballs in it until they’re lightly coated.

Heat the oil in a frying pan and sauté the meatballs until they’re golden brown, about 10 minutes. If you use a 10-inch frying pan, you’ll be able to cook about five at a time.Feel free to add a bit more oil between batches.

Place the meatballs in a casserole dish and cook for 15 minutes.

Tip: For parents who don’t want to cook with oil, thus making the meatballs healthier, skip the sautéing and cook these meatballs in the oven without sautéing. Just extend the cooking time another 10 minutes or so, and then check to make sure they’re done.

Tip: Double or triple your recipe and freeze the extra meatballs to keep on hand! Freeze the meatballs without the flour coating.

Vary It! Serve Apple-and-Turkey Meatballs with spaghetti or almost any other dish, such as rice. You can even eat them by themselves. Try serving these meatballs in a hot dog bun with a little spaghetti sauce for an instant sub sandwich!

Bow-Tie Pasta with the Works

Farfalle (fahr-FAH-lay) pasta is the technical name for bow-tie pasta. But technicalities aside, your toddler will love this dish because it’s tasty and colorful.

Preparation time: 25 minutes

Yield: Four 1-cup servings

1⁄4 pound bow-tie pasta

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon flour

1 1⁄4 cups milk

1⁄4 teaspoon dry ground mustard

1⁄4 cup green peas (frozen is fine)

1⁄4 cup carrots, diced (frozen is fine)

1⁄2 cup grated cheddar cheese

2 slices (about 1 ounce) cooked ham, beef, or chicken, diced

Cook the pasta according to the package directions.

While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan and stir in the flour.

Whisk in the milk and mustard. Add the peas and carrots, bring back to a boil, reduce the heat, and cook for 3 minutes.

Stir in the cheese and remove from the heat, continuing to stir until the cheese melts. Add the meat to the mixture.

Drain the water from the pasta, and in a large bowl, toss together the meat and cheese mixture with the cooked pasta. Serve warm.

Vary It! Substitute other vegetables, such as broccoli, zucchini, squash, and so on for the peas and carrots.

4.Spectra Baby USA S2 Double/Single breast pump reviews, 3.3 Pound

The S2 boasts so many great features and is designed to truly meet the needs of moms wanting to feel confident that they have an effective, powerful breast pump to support supply while also incorporating features to make life a little easier. Like all Spectra pumps, the S2 is a closed system – a physical barrier between the milk and the pump ensures hygiene and motor performance. The S2 is intended to rival the Medela Symphony, and even surpass it with some of its innovative features designed to make life easier for moms.

The S2 is hospital grade – strong and efficient enough to support milk supply. With a maximum suction strength of 300mmHg and the ability to be used as a single or double pump. Completely flexible, touch button with the S2 pump’s digital controls.

These allow you to set the pumping program to the speed and rhythm most effective for your body. The pump will start in ‘massage mode’, a short, shallow mode designed to stimulate your body’s letdown reflex (start the milk flowing) just like how your baby tells your body to start milk flow. The pump will then switch to expression mode, a deeper, slower pattern of suction which mimics how your baby nurses when the milk is flowing. For women who find it hard to get a letdown when pumping, this feature really helps – switch back and forth as needed. The suction is also adjustable whether in let-down or expression mode.

Includes a timer and nightlight. This pump is also NEARLY silent… You can see on the picture that you can adjust both cycle (how often the pump ‘sucks’) and vacuum (the strength of the suction) easily, and the digital display allows you to see your program at a glance. If item has been opened and/or used it is non-returnable due to health and sanitation as these are considered single person use items. For product issues please contact the seller directly and you purchased pump from.

How to increase breast milk naturally at home

There is no such a thing as a mother physically incapable of feeding her baby: the size of your breasts bears no relation to the amount of milk that you can produce although breast enlargement or reduction surgery can affect the ability to breastfeed.

Milk is produced in deeply buried glands, not the fatty tissue of the breasts, so don’t worry if your breasts are rather small: they are adequate. The amount of milk that you produce is dependent on how much your baby takes, hence the expression supply and demand. For example, if your baby’s appetite is not very great then your breasts will not produce very much milk because they’re not being stimulated by your newborn to do so. If your baby is a voracious feeder, your breasts will respond and produce more milk. The quantity of milk available for your infant will fluctuate throughout the whole time that you breastfeed, according to how much your baby takes.

If your baby is hungry half an hour after being fed, don’t worry. Your breasts will have produced some milk for your baby to feed on, and they’ll soon build up a supply for his new needs. When the need for more feeds slows down the breasts will produce less.

A newborn needs 60-100ml (2-3 ½ floz) of milk per 500g (11b) of body weight, so a 3.5kg (71b-11oz) baby will need 400-650ml (14—24floz) daily. Your breasts each produces 40-60ml (11/2—2floz) of milk in three hours so your daily output of 700-1000ml (24—35floz) is ample.

How to increase breast milk after delivery

Most women who breast-feed their babies produce enough milk. If you’re worried that you may or may not be producing enough milk for your baby, look for the following clues:

Day one: One wet diaper

Day two: Two wet diapers

Day three: Three wet diapers

Day four: Four wet diapers

After that point: Five to six wet diapers per day and at least three to four yellowish stools

Certain types of breast-augmentation or reduction procedures can damage nerves in the breasts and cut the milk ducts, reducing the milk supply.

How to increase breast milk home remedies

If you need to build up your milk supply because your baby has been losing weight or not gaining weight adequately, your health care provider will likely recommend that you:

breast-feed your baby at least eight times per day and that you offer each breast at least once at each feeding and express milk after your baby has finished feeding in order to stimulate your breasts to produce more milk

focus on improving your baby’s latch in case he’s not getting very much milk for all the effort he’s putting into nursing

keep your baby awake until he has nursed actively for at least 10 minutes at each breast

talk to your health care provider about prescription and herbal products that can be used to boost your milk supply

If you’ve had surgery on your breasts, find out the specifics of that surgery. Recent surgical advances have led to better outcomes for women who have gone on to breast-feed their babies. Your health care provider should be able to provide you with information about your odds of providing your baby with a full or partial milk supply. If you can’t provide enough milk on your own, a lactation aid (basically a tube taped to your breast) can allow your baby to receive additional nutrition while breast-feeding.

Drugs designed to dry up milk production are not safe and should be avoided.

A natural way to help dry up the milk supply is to drink 2 to 3 cups of sage tea per day.

Care of your breasts after breastfeeding

Take good care of your breast after breastfeeding: they are going to be working quite hard for the next few months. The greatest step is to buy yourself a couple of the best maternity bras that you can afford. Ask the assistant to measure you and make sure that the bra gives you enough support both below your breasts and on your shoulders. The drop- front kind is excellent because it makes feeding quick, convenient and hygienic and your breasts are never left to sag. Towards the end of the beginning week when lactation becomes well established, your breasts after pregnancy may become full breasts size, sore, tender to the touch and quite hard because there is so much milk. A good bra will minimize discomfort: so will expressing.

**Care of your breasts after breastfeeding**

Pay attention to the daily hygiene of your breasts and nipples. Wash them every day with water – don’t use soap because it is drying to the skin and can aggravate a sore or cracked nipple. Always handle your breasts carefully: pat them dry gently after both feeding and washing. Leave your nipples open to the air whenever you can: still wear your bra for support, but leave the front flaps down.

Once the milk actually starts to flow it may leak out quite a lot during the day.Put breast pads or clean handkerchiefs inside your bra to soak up the leaking milk. Change the pad frequently for cleanliness.

How to get your breasts back after breastfeeding

While there are no muscles in the nipples themselves, exercise can help keep them in good shape. By shortening the connecting fibres that attach your breasts to your chest muscles, you draw them up and maintain their firmness. The following “top-lift” exercise is most beneficial once you’ve weaned your baby, but you can use it, too, once breastfeeding is well established. You can do the exercise either sit or standing. Raise your arms to shoulder level; grasp the left forearm with your right hand and vice versa, and simultaneously, press and push with each hand towards the elbow with a jerky movement. Repeat for as long as feels comfortable. Do the exercise for a minimum of six weeks for the best results.

If you can, avoid all drugs when breastfeeding; many medications pass into the breast milk and can affect your baby. If you are already taking medications, or if you see your doctor for any new problem, make certain he knows that you are breastfeeding.

One of the greatest problems with a picky eater tends to be main meals. You may be able to get your child to eat a snack or side item, but chowing down on a main meal seems like a distant dream. The dishes in this section may help your finicky eater be more interested in taking a bite out of his picky eating.

Sauteed Hamburger with Zucchini and Squash

We love any sautéed food and for good reason. Sautéed foods simply have a different flavor than foods cooked in other ways. If you can introduce your selective eater to sautéed veggies, he’s more likely to eat them once he acquires the taste. This simple hamburger and veggie mix is one that you may have luck getting your kids to eat.

In a medium saucepan, brown the hamburger meat. When the meat is near completion, add garlic and Italian seasoning. Stir well. Set aside.

Lightly oil the bottom of a frying pan with olive oil. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, and sauté the squash and zucchini until slightly brown.

In a serving dish, mix the meat with the veggies. Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and toss well. Salt to taste and serve.

Toddler sleep training

HELPING YOUR TODDLER TO SLEEP

Toddler sleep training : During the day

Make up a nap time box for your child with favourite toys and books that he can look at as he gets sleepy before a nap. Don’t leave good or expensive books – they may get ripped up. Leave board books or old books. A good alternative is to make up your own books by pasting interesting pictures from magazines on to board and then covering them with clear acetate.

Give your child a occasional treat by letting him take a nap in your bed, or somewhere near you.

If your child won’t take a nap, make sure that he has a rest time where he is calm and quiet.

If your toddler won’t go to sleep, put on a long- playing tape. Teach your child that the rest time is not over until the music stops.

Toddler sleep training : In the evening

Don’t put your child to bed immediately after an exciting game or rough-and-tumble – he will have great difficulty settling down, which will be frustrating for you. Give him 10-15 minutes to quieten down, sitting with you watching TV or looking at a book.

Even a small child likes looking at a book in bed so, if your baby is quite happy, leave him with a favourite, non-scary book.

Put a dab of your perfume or aftershave on to your child’s pillow and suggest that he breathes it in deeply. Deep breathing is relaxing and calming and will help your child go off to sleep.

Give your toddler a bath before bedtime and follow this with a warm drink and a story in bed.
