A. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. Yes baby is too small so you should wake the baby up after every two to three hours and feed the baby. Please take Shatavari powder with milk twice a day to increase breast milk supply. Also feed the baby often which also helps in increasing breast milk supply. Masaage your breasts gently before feeding the baby. You can also use breast pump to take out milk which also helps in production of breast milk. Thanks and take care
