How do I keep a steady flow of milk?

It is important to try to create a calm, relaxing atmosphere for each and every feed of a newborn because when a new mother is anxious, stressed or upset –before and during breastfeeding– the oxytocin let-down can be interrupted by the body’s adrenal gland production of catecholamines which hinders or halts the milk-ejection let-down reflex. You can refer to page 198 to know of diets which are helpful for lactation. The next page, 199 provides some references you can read on increasing milk production.
