Boobs with milk (photos)

Whatever the case, if you have any lingering questions or concerns about slacker boobs or breast milk supply, consider connecting with a breastfeeding peer counselor or a lactation consultant. You’ve got this!

Last year, when I was planning Six Fishes community workshop offerings, I thought it would be helpful to hold a “Tips for Tits” workshop to discuss solutions for common nursing challenges: Low milk supply and mastitis. I never did schedule it (please let me know if you’d be interested! We can partner with a lactation consultant), so instead, I’m sharing a lot of the information with you in a blog.

Low milk supply is one of the more stressful experiences a nursing mother can face. There are numerous reasons this occurs. Some such as tongue-tie are challenging to resolve without medical intervention. But often, milk production can be increased with a few simple changes in diet and lifestyle. If that’s not enough, then we have acupuncture and herbs to help along with this too.

If you’re having problems with your breast milk production, please reach out to Six Fishes. We’d love to help.

Commercially prepared formulas may be based on non-fat cow’s milk, whey protein, or soy protein. In order to provide a balanced diet for an infant, formulas are fortified with carbohydrates, fats, minerals, and vitamins. The antibodies found in breast milk, however, can never be added to formulas.
