Activities that affects breastmilk..??

Hi sarankrish..I have a nineteen months old baby for whom I exclusively breastfed up to 6 months and continued till 18 months. From my experience I m telling you, as long as you keep feeding your baby regularly no other factors will affect your milk supply. Even when I was sick doctors told there is no harm in breastfeeding. I even kept fasting. I used to cook and do all other chores. Nothing affected my milk supply till I weaned my baby. Don't worry..

 

No, that is not scientifically true. "Heat" from cooking does not decrease breast milk production. You can do all activities, and still produce sufficient milk for your baby.

However, my point is, if they are willing to give you a break from cooking, please accept it, and spend time with your baby, or just resting. You will be definitely grateful for this break, when life becomes super busy, sometime later.
