A. Hi, There could be some reason like 1.stomach pain 2. Feeding position is not comfortable for the child. 3. Milk supply is low. 4. Flow is thin which make baby to suck more 5. colic pain, reflux or any other illness like cold. Any of these could be causing the baby to resist feeding. If persists for long, consult with your pediatrician once. To increase milk supply the key is to feed frequently. Milk secretion increases based on demand. So more and more your baby tries to feed your milk supply will increase. Frequent pumping also helps in increasing milk. Have garlic, garlic milk Fenugreek seeds jeera water nuts oats green leafy vegetables ridge gourd bottle gourd pulses pumpkin dairy products etc in your daily diet. Also check with your gynecologist and get some supplements like galact garnaules prescribed. It helps in increasing breast milk. If still breastfeed is not sufficient for the baby. You can start giving formula milk to the baby. Formula milk is the alternative of breastfeed. There are many good brands like nan, lactogen, similac etc. Take care and happy parenting.
