    Diet, including fluid intake, is unlikely to affect breast engorgement, and there are no studies linking diet to the presence or absence of breast engorgement. The volume of milk that a lactating parent produces is primarily driven by the amount of milk that is removed from the breasts,[1] not by the dietary choices of the parent.[2]
