How Our Milk Supply Happens: Understanding and Managing Breastmilk Production

As a new parent, it’s important to understand how your milk supply is created and how it can change as your baby grows. This mini-workshop will focus on the essentials of milk production, from the early days to ongoing breastfeeding, and answer your questions on managing milk supply as your baby’s needs evolve.

Learn from our BMSG breastfeeding counsellors on the key factors that affect milk production:

• How is milk supply established in the early days?
• How does stimulation (nursing and pumping) impact milk supply?
• Do babies need the same amount of breastmilk throughout their first year?
• How can I manage my milk supply if I’m exclusively breastfeeding or pumping?
• What can I do if I feel my milk supply is low?

 

This mini-workshop will focus on understanding how milk supply works and how to manage it, especially during the first few months and beyond. However, parents can ask about any aspect of breastfeeding and milk supply during the Q&A segment.
