Hi,
For increasing breast milk best is to have high protein diet.
Take more pulses, cereals, puddings, eggs, ghee, butter, cheese, panier in your food.
Take fresh veggies, fresh fruits and dry fruits.
Continue breast feeding even if milk flow slows down as due to sucking reflex flow can increase.
Avoid stress.
Ok and take care.
