To ensure enough breast milk for breastfeeding, mothers should take proper care of their nutrition and lifestyle during both pregnancy and the breastfeeding period.
During pregnancy, mothers need to eat a balanced and nutritious diet to gain healthy weight, which helps build fat reserves for milk production after birth. Adequate rest, reasonable activity, and a relaxed mindset are also very important.
During breastfeeding, mothers should eat well, drink enough fluids, and get sufficient sleep. Daily meals should provide more energy than usual. Eating ripe fruits helps supply essential vitamins, while traditional foods such as sticky rice porridge with pork leg or grilled eel with salt can help stimulate milk production.
Mothers should limit spicy foods like chili, onions, and garlic, as these flavors may pass into breast milk and make babies uncomfortable. Drinking enough water, soup, and fruit juice—about 1.5 to 2 liters per day—supports milk supply. When breastfeeding, medication should be used carefully and only under medical advice, as some drugs can affect milk production and infant health.
