DarishMom of a 3 yr 2 m old boy2 years agoA. Hi. The best option to feed formula milk is through a bottle. I tried feeding my baby through spoon and turned out that he became lazy to suck through the bottle. Using a bottle would help as it is a bit similar to breastfeeding.

Priti SharmaMom of a 6 yr 1 m old boy2 years agoA. Hi
I too had low breast milk due to fever after my son's delivery. I used glass feeding bottles by Pigeon as they are really good. Dont cause infections, plastic bottles cause infections. Use and wash glass bottles in boiled water.
Secondly, you xan try to increase your breast milk by eating sabudana kheer, masoor dal, kacha heeng. Sabudana kheer helped me the most. My baby left drinking bottle milk after a few months. I also took a tablet called LACTARE, a very good tablet, no side effects. This also improved my breast milk production. Moreover, try watching you baby to your breast, the more he demands the more milk will be produced by your body. Do not stop breast feeding.

Joanita DSouzaGuardian of a 8 yr 11 m old boy2 years agoA. I had similar problems with my baby, take proper care of your diet, and use pro nan/lactogen for your baby, however don't stop breast milk completely. Please also seek counselling for post partum depression, since stress also decreases breast milk supply.
