A. If your body is not able to make milk, using breast pumps will not help. Also, manual pumps are very tiresome and very less effective. It is better to choose electric pumps as it is much smoother and quick process. Include foods in your diet to increase breastmilk supply like fenugreek, carol seeds, cumin, garlic, ginger, milk, cereals, eggs, legumes, green leafy vegetables, dry fruits, fennel seeds, avocado, etc. While nursing, keep massaging the breasts to increase milk secretion and latch the baby frequently as supply largely depends on the demand. If all this does not work, start giving any good formula milk Stage 1 as it is important to feed baby fully and frequently for healthy growth and development.
