Are you thinking of weaning your baby simply because of the lack of natural milk? Recent studies have shown that you are not alone, as many mothers decide to wean their children prematurely during the first year of low milk production.
So why should this decrease in the amount of milk? What can you do to increase milk production to meet your child’s needs?
Decreased amount of milk with breastfeeding: a myth or a fact?
The short answer is that this is not true. While logic suggests that whenever you take something from a pot that leads to its loss, natural milk is opposed to logic. The more breastfeeding, the more your body produces milk.
Contrary to prevailing beliefs, the lack of natural milk is the result of not sucking milk effectively. If your baby is new to breast-feeding, he will not be spared the energy needed to stimulate more natural milk production.
