POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. For a 6-month-old who is not drinking milk from a bottle and has a low breastfeeding supply, consider these steps:
### Encouraging Bottle Feeding:
1. **Experiment with Bottles/Nipples**: Try different types to see what your baby prefers.
2. **Warm the Milk**: Ensure it's at body temperature.
3. **Different Positions**: Try feeding in various positions.
4. **Let Someone Else Feed**: Babies might take a bottle more readily from someone other than mom.
### Boosting Breast Milk Supply:
1. **Frequent Nursing**: Nurse often to stimulate production.
2. **Hydration and Nutrition**: Drink plenty of fluids and eat a balanced diet.
3. **Pumping**: Pump between feedings.
4. **Lactation Support**: Consider lactation teas or supplements, and consult a lactation specialist.
If these strategies don’t help, consulting a lactation consultant for personalized advice is recommended.
