A. You should include Garlic, basil, cumin, ajwain, fengureek seeds, saunf, gourds, green papaya, dairy products, red Masoor dal ,bottle gourds, ridge gourds, oats, chick peas, flax seeds powder ,morringa leaves, ragi , brown rice, in your diet Take a lot of healthy fluids upto 2.5-3 litres a day.. Eat a lot of green and red veggies ... Dry roast equal quantity of saunf and cumin seed till the aroma come, let it cool down and grind it into powder... You can take 1/2 teaspoon of the powder and mix it with 1/2 teaspoon home made ghee. And consume it half hour before food daily twice... For 2 weeks... Also latch the baby more on the breast as it increase the stimulation which increase the milk production too... Also keep emptying the breast fully frequently.. Use breast pump regularly.. Use it after the baby feed to empty fully the breast.. It will increase the simulation and milk supply... Give him a lot of skin to skin time... Try to latch her more properly so that she can suck more milk.... Don't take stress... Keep yourself stress free.. stress will affect the milk production negatively... Also you can consult the doctor for shatavari, lactonic granules etc to increase the milk supply...

A. hello baby need at this age 500-750 ml.. in a day.. your not sleeping properly.. Tha means she is not getting sufficient milk.. 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.... add this food in your meal if possible... Will help to increase breastmilk... fennel seed oatmeal ginger fenugreek Papaya spinach carrot water juice milk barley cumin seeds apricot .. Frequent nursing and hands on pumping during the day can help increase milk supply.
