A. Try to breastfeed all the time, the more your baby latch the more milk your body produces.

A. Yes you can. But before giving the formula milk, breastfeed first 10 -15 minutes, then give the formula milk . The more you latch, the more milk you produce. That’s how it works. By the end of the week, your feed will enhance. And second and the most important thing, stay positive. And always think that yor feed is sufficient for your baby.

A. try using Himalya satavari tablets at night along with milk... it worked miracles for me... I didn't have proper breastmilk for my 1st child... but for my second child I started using this from 9th month of pregnancy and it really helped.... and I had more than sufficient milk accordingly

A. Hello dear. Eat healthy diet and have shatavari powder it helps in milk production. But if breastmilk is not sufficient then formula milk can be given along with breastmilk.

A. Hello my dear parent! What is making you to assume your breastmilk is not enough? As long as your baby is healthy and active, accepting feeds, passing adequate urine 6 to 8 times daily, gradually gaining weight then your baby is feeding enough. Continue to exclusively breastfeed your baby, keep Babyhug tummy roll on handy
