A. Breastfeeding is always a very important factor for the baby and mother and many times there are some problem faced by mother because of either wrong position while feeding lack of proper diet stress related factors. A proper is counselling is required which can be done by a lactational counsellor along with a proper diet with plenty of lihquids some supplementfys may be helpful like shatavari . Also try to avoid giving top milk in initial stage specially with bottle feeding which may be the culprit for lactational failure most of the time .

A. Sure thank you. I feel breast milk is not adequate for her. Can I give top up of formula milk (lactogen 2) along with breast milk?

A. Hello dear parent! Try to breastfeed till one year completion. If you have any concerns regarding feeding then consult your doctor for evaluation and advice. Continue feeding your baby well on demand, start giving semi solids. Keep Babyhug tummy roll on handy
