A. for low breast milk supply you need to take plenty of liquids and high fibre diet and give frequent feeding to your child so that milk production increases as it is a hormonal phenomenon regulated by signals to the brain so you should feel positively motivated and do not try to give formula milk unless advised by your paediatrician and if the weight gain and urinary output of your baby is normal .if required you can also take help from a lactation consultant who will guide you in a very proper way regarding establishment of good lactation as well as will heljfp you in relieving pain if you have any. medicines are not of much help in this but definitely your diet is very important.

A. hi try to offer feeds from that side whenever your child is extremely hungry or wake up from sleep. Massage this side with coconut oil which will help to stimulate your milk glands and increase your breastmilk supply. try different feeding positions
