A. Dear ma'am, new born babies stomach capacity is so small and it an hold only 2-3 teaspoons at one time. Hence they would feed frequently. That's absolutely normal. As long as the baby latches well and feed at the breast, is satisfied after a feed, has urine count six plus times in a day and gains weight steadily it means he is getting all the milk he needs. Do not worry.

A. Hi dear If baby is not peeing more than 7-8 times a day that means baby is not getting sufficient breast milk If this symptom is there then you can start with formula milk that too with doctors consultation

A. you should try satavari powder with milk twice in a day it will help to increase milk Frequent nursing and hands on pumping during the day can help increase milk supply.. One of the best ways to increase milk supply is to keep on nursing your little one.the more you feed the baby frequently.. the more milk will be generated in your body.... Nuursing mom to drink lots of fluids and to eat well. Keep yourself hydrated. Drink plenty of water. Have a glass of water or juice before you start nursing.
