The fear of not having enough breast milk is very common among breastfeeding mothers. Mature milk is a lot thinner than the initial colostrum, which often leads to concerns about it not being sufficient to provide the baby with enough energy and nutrients for a healthy development.

Breastfeeding mums often wonder whether their diet has an impact on milk supply and quality. There definitely is a correlation between what you eat and how nutritious your breast milk is. So, if you eat a healthy, balanced diet, this will be reflected in your breast milk.

Even the good things in life come to an end. Unfortunately, this is also the case with breastfeeding. One day you’re still in the middle of a loving breastfeeding relationship with your baby, and the next day it's time to think about weaning.
