Abstract:

Perceived low milk supply is a common concern among lactating parents. Low milk supply concerns are fueled by a lack of awareness of human milk production and normal infant feeding behaviors, along with societal pressures and bad advice from friends, family and miseducation of healthcare professionals.
Milk supply concerns affect the overall breast/chest feeding journey for parents and infants. This presentation will address the factors that contribute to perceived low milk supply concerns and how to help lactating persons and those that support them.
