Is There Anything I Can Do To Stimulate Breast Milk Production?
My baby is 3 days old and I'm still producing colostrum. My baby only weighs 6 1/2 pounds and I'm worried that he needs real breast milk. Is there anything I can do to stimulate my breast milk production?

Just keep putting him to the breast. He will stimulate the transition from colostrum to mature milk just as nature intended him to do. Don't let anyone give him formula or water because he wont breast feed as well. Your supply is directly related to the amount of stimulation your breasts receive.

Certain essential oils are very helpful to stimulate breast milk production. It is best to receive a consult with a Certified Aromatherapist. Feel free to learn more on my website - http://site.mawebcenters.com/wholecreations
