A member asked:

I have stop pumping milk about a week because my supply doesn't have much but i still want to be able to have more milk 4him.wat can i do to increase?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nursing: stimulates the breast to make milk better than pumping. If your baby will nurse that might improve production. Also warm soaks to the nipples can help. Good luck
