What is recommended to help increase milk supply in breastfeeding mothers?

A. Reduce feeding frequency
B. Take hot baths
C. Use nipple shields
D. Hand express after feeds

The correct answer is: D. Hand express after feeds

Hand expressing after feeds can help stimulate milk production and increase milk supply, whereas reducing feeding frequency can actually decrease milk supply. Hot baths may temporarily increase milk supply but can also cause dehydration, and nipple shields can interfere with proper latch and affect milk transfer. Therefore, hand expressing after feeds is the recommended method to help increase milk supply in breastfeeding mothers.
