POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. Consider Supplementing
If your baby's doctor thinks it's necessary, you may have to supplement your baby with additional feedings of either pumped breast milk or infant formula. You can also try to pump and separate your foremilk from your hindmilk. Hindmilk is higher in fat and calories, which can help your baby gain more weight.
