A member asked:

Iwas wondering in breastfeeding mothers what's more effective fluids or food?? and does eating more will produce more milk!!

Fluids: To breast feed you need a healthy diet, and you should drink at least a quart of some fluid (it probably does not matter what king of fluid) daily.. It will help your milk production
