A. hi .baby is just two months old so try to breast feed as much as u can untill the first six months. breast milk usually works on the principle of demand and supply. So most breastfeeding moms need to realise that in case they are experiencing low milk supply, in the beginning, they will start to produce more as soon as the baby begins to breastfeed. The more your baby feeds, the more milk your body will produce. Make sure that the baby’s feeding position is comfortable along with the mother’s feeding posture. The baby should have a mouthful of breast. Drink plenty of water and sleep well for optimal breast milk production. In case you feel that your milk production is low, you can speak to a lactation consultant about using a galactagogue. Some examples of herbal galactagogues include fenugreek leaves and seeds, garlic, fennel, barley, and alfalfa.
