A. Hello new mom, Since your query is about giving formal plus breast milk to you lil one. You need to increase your diet, have something after every hour or 2 hours. The more you eat the more milk. The important thing is to drink water adequately. Let your baby suckle more during night time. The Hormone levels are high during night and when your baby suckles, it will help in milk production for the next day, so it's a chain. More diet, more suckle, more milk.Since your child is dependent on you in terms of his feeds and almost everything, so take good care of yourself, sleep whenever your baby is sleeping, avoid stress. As stress n less sleep decreases milk production. Hope the answer will help😊

A. there are few methods. what the other mother said is also correct... there is one more method which can give instant result. half cup milk and 20 garlic pods are required. crush the garlic pods into small and add it the boiling milk . let it boil for some time so that it becomes thick paste. we can add jaggery or sugar to it. and eat the paste once it is cooked. it gives instant result. medical ways are .. galact granules powder with milk ... lactare tablets.

A. Hi Mom. This is a old method that my grand mother and my mother applied on me. 1. Eat Garlic just make a curry or powder and eat with ghee. Garlic Powder recipe: Put 5 spoons of dry Coconut, 20 garlic pods , chilli powder and salt and grind it. Put some rice in plate Add that powder Add ghee while eating. 2. Put a garlic in the cotton and cover your ears with that cotton ball 3. They say Chicken liver also good but I am a vegetarian so I didn't tried. I feed my baby 3 and half years without any lack of milk. After that also it took 1 year to complete stop my milk production.
