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 a proper diet with plenty of liquids some supplements may be helpful like shatavari . Also try to avoid giving top mijlk in initial stage specially with bottle feeding which may be the culprit for lactational failure most of thef time .

A. Hello dear parent! May be your doctor has advised packet milk that is formula milk. Consult your doctor for further advice. Continue feeding your baby well on demand daily. Regularly massage your baby with Babyhug cold pressed coconut oil
