Hello!
I have low milk supply... because of this I used to feed the baby with formula milk with the help of Dr.Browns bottle. If I won't express milk whole night I will get 140ml breast milk in the morning or else breast milk will leak. If I express milk after 4-5 hrs I will get 60-80 ml milk... I took domstal lactare initially but of no use. Please suggest me how to improve my milk supply.
