it is very important to meet lactational expert who will guide you weather there is any problem in position and attachment while giving breastfeeding and what diet you can follow to increase breast milk. at the same time go to various videos and articles on firstcry and YouTube regarding breastfeeding as well as position and attachment.
exclusive breastfeeding has to be continued till completion of 6 months of age
 and you have to drink plenty of water and at least 500 ml milk everyday as well as hommemade food from cereals pulses vegetable milk and fruits daily e as well as you can go for
 Shatavari supplement which will also help in increasing the breast milk formation.....

No not now sir your baby should have completed six months for any other foods like water or juice or even any other food. This is because only milk provides all the necessary nutrients. And early solid foods will lead to stomach upset and constipation.
