Milk supply. It's a hotly discussed topic amongst mamas, especially in the early weeks of breastfeeding. Concerns about how much milk you're making and if it's enough to nourish your growing baby top the list of 'new mama worries'.
It's important to note that the majority of women can produce enough milk to feed their baby. A small percentage may struggle due to reasons that, with support, can be rectified, while a smaller percentage still will have what is termed as 'true low milk supply' caused by a number of medical conditions like insufficient glandular tissue (IGT), some metabolic conditions, retained placenta, postpartum haemorrhage, surgical inventions or from illness.
