A. Thanks Doctor.yes we will meet the lactation consultant. is it also something to check on my baby's health since he is not doing direct breast feed

A. very important to see that position and attachment while breastfeeding the child is proper. if improper the child will continue to suck for long hrs without getting any milk meet lactational counsellor who will guide regarding this. see videos on you tube for breastfeeding position and attachment.x take plenty of water, home made diet, seasonal fruits and vegetables, milk for increasing brceast milk for yourself. take 15 to 30 days weight and growth assessment by the doctor.
