Insufficient glandular tissue (IGT) is a rare condition that is seen in less than 2% of women. In these women, the breasts did not develop the necessary glandular tissues for breast milk creation. The breasts are tubular in shape (narrow and long instead of more rounded), have more than 4 cm flat space between the breasts, have a very large and bulbous areola, with no observable breast changes (such as tenderness or enlargement) during pregnancy.
Lactating moms are often told that everything they eat turns into breastmilk. In a sense that is true. Whatever a mother ingests goes through her digestive system, and the nutrients of the ingested food and drink are absorbed by the blood and distributed throughout the body through the bloodstream. This is what helps fuel milk production; and so the nutrients the mother has taken in can now be passed on to the baby.

If you’re a mom struggling with milk supply, and none of those methods have worked yet, consider these other, less conventional, methods.
