Contents: For many women, breastfeeding is sometimes a challenge and can be quite difficult. In addition to resorting to natural medication and other treatments for the production of milk, the following supplications can also be relied upon to assist in the production of milk to feed the baby with which the ahadith term as being a right of the child for two years. One thing which the mother should keep in mind is the importance of reciting:

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرحمـٰنِ الرحيم

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful' before nursing the child which carries with it, many spiritual bounties and blessings.

Prayer 1

To increase the milk of the mother, write Surah al-Hijr (Chapter 15) or Surah Yasin (Chapter 36) with a mixture of saffron and rose water on a piece of paper, wash it with pure water and then give this water to the mother to drink.

Prayer 2

Write verse 21 of Surah al-Mu'minun (Chapter 23) with a mixture of saffron and rose water on a piece of paper, wash it with pure water and then give it to the mother to drink:

وَإِنَّ لَكُمْ فِي الْأَنْعَامِ لَعِبْرَةً نُسْقِيكُمْ مِمَّا فِي بُطُونِهَا وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَنَافِعُ كَثِيرَةٌ وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ

And most Surely, there is a lesson for you in the cattle: We make you to drink of what is in their bellies (milk), and you have in them many advantages and of them you eat (23:21).

Prayer 3

To increase the milk of the mother, write verses 8 and 9 and then tie it on the right arm of the mother: of Surah al-Ra'd (Chapter 13) on a piece of paper, wrap it in cloth.

اللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَحْمِلُ كُلُّ أُنْثَىٰ وَمَا تَغِيضُ الْأَرْحَامُ وَمَا تَزْدَادُ وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ عِنْدَهُ بِمِقْدَارٍ

Allah knows what every female bears, and that of which the wombs fall short of completion and that in which they increase; and there is a measure with Him for everything (13:8).

عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ الْكَبِيرُ الْمُتَعَالِ

The Knower of the Unseen and the Seen, the Great, the Most High (13:9).

Prayer 4

To increase the milk of the mother, write the above-mentioned verses (mentioned in Prayer 3) with saffron on a plate of china and then wash it with pure water and give this water to the mother to drink.

Prayer 5

The final prayer of this Chapter is beneficial if the baby does not take to the breast with ease. It has been narrated that if Surah al-Buruj (Chapter 85) is written on paper, kept in an amulet and then worn by the baby, he or she will take to breastfeeding with ease.
