milk fill your breast as soon as you do so.
Also, avoid pacifiers and nipple shields as much as possible as they can limit your skin-to-skin time with your little one, thus decreasing your milk supply.
4. Enjoy a Hot Bath or Shower
Try turning on the shower to hot and let it steam up the bathroom, or sit in a hot bath. Use this time to massage your breast to push out any milk clogs as this can happen if you’re not nursing often enough, thus limiting your milk supply.

5. Nurse On-Demand
Give yourself a moment to forget about timed feeding schedules and feed your baby as often as he or she will eat.
This means you’ll have to eliminate pacifiers to really gauge when your baby needs to feed or even be soothed by just latching onto your breast.
The more they nurse, the more your body will produce.
6. Give Only Breast Milk
It’s important to eliminate all other supplements at this time, including formula.
Babies can sometimes get breast milk confused with other supplements and tend to limit themselves of how much they’re willing to intake of something new to them.
By giving only breast milk, you will decrease confusion and increase your nursing time.
