Breast milk contains all the nutrients necessary for the baby's growth in the first six months.

To increase breast milk, we recommend plenty of liquids, best of all water. The necessary stimulation for the secretion of milk is provided by regular breastfeeding every two hours in the first months.
Frequent breastfeeding of the baby is the most important factor in stimulating milk secretion. The ideal is to breastfeed both breasts for 15 minutes each. If your baby cannot breastfeed for any reason, it should be pumped regularly every two hours. Breast milk production increases as a result of breastfeeding the baby with the correct technique and at frequent intervals, rather than the mother's nutrition.
