Q.

Hi my baby is almost 3 months old now. She is on formula feed as my supply was very low she refused to latch and used to cry since there was low flow so we stuck to formula feed only, now i have no flow. Have tried everything initially to improve the flow. is there any chance now to start breast feed or start the flow

A. I parent you have a kid is 2 months old, difficulty in lactation, you may initiate lactation again, proper latching position, adequate intake of oral fluids must, consult a lactation consultant for proper latching position....and what concern for latchment

A. Hello, your baby girl 3 months old and your breast milk is totally reduced so you should give formula milk as much as she can drink it at every 2 hours a day, And you should eat nutritious food items then your breast milk flow may increase

Q. #AskTheExpert I delivered baby boy on May 14. I was given to breastfeed him only on 17th. but unfortunately he refused to latch as the milk supply was very low (just 10ml per feed). I started to use the manual pump so that the milk supply doesn't stop and hoped it would increase..but today even after 3 weeks there is no improvement. what can I do to increase the supply.? is it too late now?
