As a new mother, the postpartum phase felt overwhelming with advice and opinions coming from all directions about breastfeeding, the baby, my body, food, and almost everything else. Most of it came from love and experience, but love does not always mean it is truly helpful.

How to Increase Milk Supply: Is It Possible?
The answer is yes. In many cases, it is possible to increase milk supply.
Milk production is driven by milk removal. The more frequently and effectively milk is removed from the breasts, the more signals your body receives to produce more milk.
This happens because the hormone prolactin which is responsible for milk production, naturally peaks at night and in the early morning. That is why many mothers notice fuller breasts when they wake up.
Basics of Breastfeeding & Breastmilk
Breastfeeding is both a natural and a learned skill for both mother and baby. It takes patience, adjustment, emotional strength, and sometimes support that many people don’t openly discuss. If you’re reading this as a new mother or preparing to be one, I want to walk you through the basics in the simplest way possible. I’m not an expert. I’m not a doctor. Just a mother who has been there.
