Abstract

The aim of this article is to provide guidance to healthcare personnel to understand and support the establishment of increasing maternal milk secretion among lactating mothers. The commonest reason for mothers to start supplementary feeding is inadequate milk. Herbal galactogogues help in milk production, increase milk secretion and keep in sustaining breast feeding.
