A. exclusive breastfeeding has to be continued till completion of 6 months of age and you have to drink plenty of water and at least 500 ml milk everyday as well as homemade food from cereals pulses vegetablxe milk and fruits daily e as well as you can go for shatavari supplement which will also help in increasing the breast milk formation (eg lactonic granules, galact granules etc ) also take multivitamins iron calcium and vitamin d along with folic acid. follow all this steps to increase breast milk formation.

A. Similac advance can be given to the child it is a good formula milk that can be offered to meet the need of the child and proper weight gain and since you low breastfeeding I’m going to recommend you that you should take Shatavari powder three times in the day with milk to increase your lactation have plenty of fluids in a healthy diet and yet if the pain is existing please consult your doctor
