A. Breastfeeding is always a very important factor for the baby and mother and many times there are some problem faced by mother because of either wrong position while feeding lack of proper diet stress related factors. A proper is counselling is required which can be done by a lactational counsellor along with fd a proper diet with plenty of liquids some supplements may be helpful like shatavari . Also try to avoid giving top milk in initial stage specially with bottle feeding which may be the cuflprit for lactational failure most of the time .

A. hi it depends on Child's age , Health and weight too so you must keep the ratio as per your doctor's prescription. and as breastfeeding is best ,And as it works on demand and supply ,I would suggest to give it more and more.
