A member asked:

How can i make my breast have breast milk, im 36 weeks pregnant and my breast is so dry. i would like to breastfeed ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hydrate/give birth: The primary stimulant to breast milk production is a baby suckling at the breast. You can't push the issue much ahead of time. It may be good for you to contact a member of the local BF support group, La Leche League to get some pointers.
