Accepted Answer

Dear Mamma,

why do you think your supply is low? Baby crying constantly, baby wanting to feed constantly, breasts feeling soft, breasts not leaking, not enough coming out when pumping are not indicators of supply.

Every mother has colostrum from the time she is 12 weeks pregnant unless there is a medical condition. The more the baby sucks in the initial stages, the quicker the more mature milk comes in and the brain gets a signal to produce more. Breastfeeding works on a demand and supply basis. The more you feed the more your body will produce. As long as the baby has a pee count of six-plus in twenty-four hours then your baby is getting enough.

During the early months, the baby cluster feeds (more feeding in the evening), there are growth spurts and sleep regressions and none of this is a sign of low supply. Your body automatically adjusts to baby's demand. Please provide plenty of skin to skin and unrestricted access to the breast and latch baby on frequently.

Swallowing a spoonful of raw methi seeds every day also helps, Please keep yourself well hydrated.

If you do want to give a top-up, avoid formula and give expressed milk using a spoon. And if you do want to use a bottle then please use the slowest flow nipple and follow paced bottle feeding so that baby does not go through nipple preference/ confusion.

Do talk to a lactation consultant if needed.

Do you hear your baby suck and swallow? Do you think there is a latch problem, in that case, check out Nipple Flipple technique on YouTube and also Health Spoken Tutorial - IIT Bombay for cross cradle latch and other useful videos that can help you.

Answer

Dear Mamma, simple solution is to give supervised tummy time. Also tummy massage and cycling exercise also helps

Answer

Thanks for your response and guidance. From early stage my baby used to cry even after feeding and also demand for feeding even after. He also used take 1 hr to feed. So therefore we consulted the doctor and doctor suggested to give small amount of lactogen after feeding if baby is crying. Also my milk supply is low at some duration of day like in early morning, night time. Therefor we started formula milk in continuation of breast milk.

He also has a colic problem. So doctor suggested to switch from lactogen  to Similac total comfort which will suit him. but it is tasting bit bitter that my baby is not taking it.

Kindly give suggestions for his colic ( Gas in stomach problem  ) problem and on Sillmilac Total comfort powder i.e. how to give him so that he will consume it.

Answer

Dear Mamma, you can continue to give lactogen if that is what you have been giving so far. If you have been Breastfeeding exclusively so far then please continue to breastfeed exclusively for six months and continue to breastfeed as long as baby and you are comfortable. If you are starting work outside home then please consider pumping and providing for your baby
