A. Hi Mom, it is best to give exclusive breastfeeding to baby for complete 6 months. breastmilk have all required nutrients for baby's good health and growth. you can follow a healthy and balanced diet with homecooked foods, whole grains and millets, milk and milk products, dals and pulses, fresh and seasonal fruits and vegetables, healthy fats, nuts and seeds, and adequate water. you can also include galactagogue in your meals as that helps to improve quality and quantity of breastmilk. have 1 tsp methi seeds with a glass of warm water, 1 tsp shatavari powder with a glass of water, or 1 tsp aliv / halim / garden cress seeds with a glass of water - avoid in case of thyroid issues.

A. good morning I would recommend you to try to give formula milk to the child if you feel that the mother's milk is not sufficient at the moment also at the same time the mother should try to consume a supplement to improve the milk production
