14. Eat enough
Breastfeeding mothers need to eat about 500 calories a day. Make sure you are choosing healthy foods that will nourish your body.
15. Drink enough
While drinking too much water won’t increase your milk supply, being dehydrated can reduce your chances. So make sure you drink enough water during the day so that your food stays in the right place.
16. Eat a galactagogue!
