Beware of holistic or herbal supplements. Remember that everything you put into your body will be transferred to your infant when you breastfeed. What is healthy for adults may not be healthy for a small baby who has not yet fully developed their immune system. Please consult your doctor about any medications or supplements. Even certain vitamins can be dangerous!

When breastfeeding drink as much fennel tea as you can to help with milk production.

Stick to lots of whole milk and water. Breastfeeding seriously dehydrates the mother's body so, at least 8 glasses of water a day is a must. The whole milk is important because breastfeeding saps most of the mother's calcium supply and leaves her open for developing osteoporosis later in her life. The fat is needed because it is a heathy and essential supplement for the baby.

If you are worried about the quality of your milk and it satisfying your baby try getting some protein inside you. Perhaps some chicken or eggs.
