If you want to breastfeed your baby, please educate yourself! Many so called
“lactation consultants” will recommend Reglan, a prescribed medication that
enhances the amount of breast milk. Mothers, Reglan is a dangerous drug, I don’t
care if it is only a second class drug, “which means is not that bad.” it is a
drug and will have terrible side effects. Not are you only taking it, you are
passing it on to your baby, which could be detrimental to his/her health. There
are various ways to increase your milk supply naturally.

First relax, relax, relax, the more you stress the more your body tighents
up, and that will affect the supply.

Second, eat a healthy diet, no alcohol, spicy food, gassy food and of course
keep hydrated.

Third, there are many natural teas that will increase and enhance the milk
supply.

Fourth, Acupuncture can also help increase your milk supply.

And last but not least if for whatever reason you cannot breastfeed, this is
not the end of the world and you are most definitely NOT A BAD MOTHER, there are
many other ways in which you can show and express your love to your baby.

You can also look for more info at La Leche League. We have a wonderful team
here in town. Or you can drop by our office and I will be more than happy to
guide you thru the process.

Hasta la vista!
