A. Please stop giving empty nipples it is harmful for babies and you can see the baby struggling To pass gas. And To increase milk, add papaya, flax seeds, cumin seeds, ajwain into your diet. Drink plenty of water and keep yourself hydrated. The more the baby latches the more you produce milk. Keep a check on the baby's pee count, if it is more than 6 times a day then nothing to worry, it's a clear sign that the baby is getting enough milk. But if you still feel that your milk supply is low then consult with a lactation consultant. you can also use himalaya shatavari.
