A. more you feed your baby, more is the stimulation and more is the breast milk production. also relaxed mind , love for the baby, confidence while feeding help in oxytocin release and hence augment milk production. first month is always tough so keep patience. check the latching technique, baby's lips should be flanged out. most of the areaola should be in baby's mouth. it should not hurt. it should just feel like tugging. gently put little finger from baby corner of the mouth, unlatch , then latch again. sore nipples are common initially, apply breast milk on them and air dry, gradually it will recover. still if feeding doesn't establish properly, consult your paediatrician.

A. Hello mom Yes you can start giving formula milk to your baby. When mother’s milk is not sufficient for baby then the best alternative of mother’s milk is formula milk. Formula will contains all the nutrition is baby need so there is no need to give anything else to your baby till baby turned six months old. Happy parenting Stay home stay safe
