Breastfeeding mums, and expectant mothers who are deciding whether to breastfeed, share a common concern: Will I make enough milk? In Boost Your Breast Milk, lactation expert Alicia C. Simpson offers practical and clearguidance on nursing, how to recognize low milk supply, and what to do if it happens, including: breastfeeding basics--preparing to nurse, latching techniques, and scheduling feedings; the causes of low milk supply and milk slumps; in-depth information on nursing mothers' nutritional needs; and 75 recipes that make the most of lactogenic, or milkboosting, ingredients.
