A. Your baby helps you make milk by suckling and removing milk from your breast. The more milk your baby drinks, the more milk your body will make. Frequent breastfeeding or milk removal (8-12 times or more every 24 hours), especially in the first few days and weeks of your baby's life, helps you make a good milk supply.Breastfeed every time your baby is hungry. ...Make sure your baby is latching well.Offer both breasts at each feeding. ...Empty your breasts at each feeding. ...Avoid bottles and pacifiers in the early weeks. ...Get plenty of sleep, and eat a healthy diet.Pump or express your milk. ...Relax and massage.Whole Grains.

A. You can consult doctor and follow what they advice. Ideally in this scenario, you can give formula milk to baby since newborn baby needs to be fed every 2 hour. Also to increase breast milk, you can have protein rich food ( Masoor dal, egg, chicken etc.) and glass of milk.
