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 plentfy of liquids some supplements may be helpful like shatavari . Also try to avoid giving top milk ivyn initial stage specially with bottle feeding which may be the culprit for lactational failure most of the time .

A. If your exclusive breastfeeding is not helping your child to gain the weight then you will have to start giving formula feeding along with that that is how the weight gain is going to be proper because sometimes mothers feeding is not enough for the child for proper growth and weight
