VishruthaMom of 2 children4 years agoA. Hi momma, check for tongue tie or whether baby is getting a proper latch. Consult with a lactation expert about it and they can also give you tips on different holds for breastfeeding and how to stimulate baby to feed. Don't overdressed baby. Just keep in diaper while feeding. You can burp baby and dress baby after feed. Tickle babies toes or neck if baby is falling asleep while feeding.
Also if baby is gaining 300 to 500 grams every month and able to double birth weight by 5th month and triple birth weight by 1 year then no need to worry. Check for atleast 6 pee counts in a day.
Breastmilk is generated on demand supply basis and the more you feed baby, the better milk supply. Even pumping gives stimulation and increases breastmilk production. Pump a few times a day after feeding baby. Try to have galactagogues like Galact powder three times with milk, lots of roasted garlic I everything, Shatavari, fenugreek seeds cooked with rice, poppy seeds or khus khus, sesame seeds, palak leaves, dill leaves, methi leaves, fennel or saunf, Soaked garden cress (aliv/aalvi/halim), gourds especially ridge gourd, ghee, whole grains, such as brown rice, quinoa, oats, dry fruits such as walnuts, flax seeds, almonds, hazelnuts, dried figs, tofu, paneer, butter, and whole curds, jaggery. Eat healthy diet with lots of citrus fruits, leafy greens, and vegetables. Drink atleast 3 litres of water, and other liquids like fruit juices, coconut water, soups daily.
