A. It is generally not recommended to give steam inhalation to a newborn baby, as their respiratory systems are delicate, and steam can pose risks, such as burns or respiratory distress. Instead, ensure the baby is in a well-ventilated environment and consider using a humidifier to maintain moisture in the air if the baby has congestion or cold symptoms. Regarding low milk production, there are several strategies you can implement to help increase your supply. Ensure you are breastfeeding or pumping frequently, as milk production typically works on a supply-and-demand basis. Stay well-hydrated, and consider incorporating lactation-boosting foods into your diet, such as oats, fenugreek, and leafy greens. If the issue persists or if you are concerned about your baby's weight gain and overall health, it's important to consult a lactation consultant or your pediatrician for personalized advice and support. They can provide guidance tailored to your specific situation and help ensure your baby is getting enough nutrition.
