Why is Protein Important for Milk Supply?
Protein is essential to help establish and maintain your milk supply. It helps in the growth and repair of body tissues, including the mammary glands in your breasts. Your dietary intake of protein also influences the availability of amino acids in your breastmilk, which will help support the growth and development of your newborn.
