A. Have trust in yourself, eat healthy food 3 big meals and 3 snacks in a day. keep yourself hydrated. Drink lots of liquids like water, coffee, milk, juices and maintain your liquid quantity in body, this will surely help in increasing milk production. Another important part of increasing milk supply is to try to feed your baby very often and let your baby latch on to your breast for a long time or till they are latching on keep patient and let the baby latch on. Your Body understands your baby's requirements if you let your baby decide the time of latching on your breast and produce enough milk. Don't worry about the supply, sometimes in small quantities also your baby gets enough amount of fulfillment. If you still doubt that your baby is not getting full then take the help of medicine(supplement), take advice and prescription from a local health expert before starting any medication

A. Milk is very important for babies specially in the initial days of life breast milk is very important and should be given exclusively till 5-6 months of age . formula milk should be given only as a substitute to breast milk if due to any reason it is not sufficient to fulfill the demand of the baby. according to the age different stage of formula milk are there like stage 1 till 6 months of age stage 2 from 6 months to 12 months and thereafter stage 3 . hi after one year cows milk should be started and any kind of health drink powder in milk should be used only after the completion of two years of age .

A. Hi mom If ur baby is active and comfortable otherwise, passing out urine 6-8 times in a day, gaining weight then that means ur feed is sufficient for the baby. If not, then u can give milk with katori and spoon to ur baby.
