A. I have gone through the same problem when my baby was 3 weeks old. at that time I have got very good tips from lactacian. please add drink 3-4 litres water in a day. drink at least 1/2 liter milk in a day drink Haliv kheer 3-4 times in a day. or Haliv ladoo . this works awesome to increase milk. eat bajari ki bhakari more instead of chapati and rice. eat alu vadi and kothimbir vadi daily. these are all marathi names i don't know it's correct English names.so please check it on Google for details and recipes also. Check your breastfeeding positions , whether it is correct or not, because sometimes incorrect position also gets problem for baby to latch nipple. at the time of feeding use t shirt or short tops instead of gown. because when you took up shirt for breast feed your skin will get touched to baby skin and this will help to increase your milk supply as you get more attached to your baby by skin touch. trust me you will feel very nice. this is a Kangaroo's method, you can read more about this on Google. last one is don't take any type of stress and tension as it's directly affects on your milk production. feel happy and healthy. All the best.

A. Dear mom... Feel positive and confident about breastfeeding thats the mantra... there could be many reason for baby to be frustrated.. the more d baby feeds from u more milk would be produced...dont gv fm..thats what i did... i used to feed long... u can use pump after everytime baby finishes feed.. dont judge ur milk by looking at pump..today after@7 months of feeding i@can only pump 50 ml of milk...so relax.. Use all remedies suggested n feel confident..

A. Drink lots of fluid,it can be water, milk, soups, shakes, juice whatever it may be. you hv to drink at least 4 to 5 ltrs fluid. pump it at least 5 to 6 times for 20min each time. add in your diet thick masoor dal, lots of protein, fibre, fruits nd veges. everyone says sabudana kheer increases the milk. but I hv not tried it. u cn hv it a try. also add cumin seeds, ajwain,garlic in your diet. And most importantly by consulting with your gyneac you can start domperidone or other lactating tablets to increase the supply. And last but not the list don't be stressed be relaxed. try to feed your baby as much as possible. feeding increases milk naturally. on the time of feeding be very relaxed and be comfortable be happy it totally depends on hormones so if your brain is clear to send the msg it ll definitely increase the supply of milk.

A. My baby is 5 weeks old. I have tried jeera,aajwain,alopaethic,herbal,homoepathic medicines also. Drinking milk thrice a day. Earlier my baby was having nipple confusion as he was given bottle feed after discharge from hospital so he was not able to latch to my nipple. Bt now he sucks properly. Bt as the milk is not generating properly he gets irritated nd in the end we have to give him formula only.

A. apart from eating healthy foods like paneer,oats,jeera/aiwain water u should latch ur baby for atleast 1 hr before giving formula or cow's milk.... as our body produces milk as per baby's requirements... I too had a c section but 2 weeks after the operation m able to feed my baby
