How to Eat for Milk Supply
With baby #1 I always struggled with milk supply. I mean, I made enough for her… but I had to breastfeed ALL the time to keep her satiated. I feel like I spent that whole first year on the couch breastfeeding.
So by baby #2 I was much wiser! I had read lots of books about breastfeeding, lactation, etc. and even got certified in some nutrition topics too. I was ready to eat for milk supply!
And guess what…. it worked like a charm! I was always full of milk and breastfed that baby (and my third) for 3 years each.
