But have no fear; we’ve compiled a list of our top tips for making your return back to work a seamless one.

The majority of mothers produce enough breast milk to meet the needs of their growing babies, but there are certain factors that can put a woman at risk for low milk supply. If you’re dealing with low milk supply, it’s important to seek professional help from a Board Certified Lactation Consultant to figure out the root of the cause. In the meantime, here are our top 5 tips to help you increase your milk production:
