Mom of a 3 yr 8 m old boy3 years ago

#asktheexperts Hi, my baby is not latching breast. he is 15 days old. I am using breast pump to express milk, but milk supply is not good. I can get only 40-50 ml in a day. I am taking galact granules for increasing milk supply but it is not working. Please suggest how to increase milk supply, so that I can pump it and give it to my newborn baby as he is not latching.

A. First of all try different positions for the child while feeding and also check the oral cavity for any tongue tie or upper lip tie which might be causing difficulty for the child to latch. You should also check if there are any nipple cracks or flat nipplesWrite Your Answer Here

A. Shatavari is good for milk production. Ayurvedic tablet is available. Worked wonders for me. Also Add lots of Jeera in food. Jeera is also very good for lactation. u can mix its powder form in flour for making chapati as well.

A. U Continue with a lactation supplement and still if it is not helping then you should ask your lactation doctor to give you a better guidance as to which one do you need to go for along with that you should have 4 to 5 L of water on an every day basis because water plays a really very important role in that
