A. Hello mom You should add more milk in your regular diet plan it will help in increasing breast milk. If you have doubt that you are not getting sufficient milk then you can use breast pump to express your breast milk and can check how much milk you are getting. And yes you can start giving formula milk and you can go for lactogen, Nan pro, Similac. All these are best formula milk so you can choose anyone. But start giving solids and water only once you baby turned six months old.
