A. Please stop bottle. Give using spoon. Also if you really have to use bottle use slowest flow nipple and do paced bottle feeding and used pumped milk rather than formula to top feed

A. Dear Mamma, why do you think your supply is low? Breastfeeding works on a demand and supply basis. The more you feed the more your body will produce. As long as baby has a pee count of six plus in twenty four hours then your baby is getting enough. Please provide plenty of skin to skin and unrestricted access to the breast and latch baby on frequently. Swallowing a spoonful of raw methi seeds everyday also helps, Please keep yourself well hydrated. Do talk to a latcation consultant if needed please stop bottle right away and use spoon to feed. her. give plenty of skin to skin

A. It could be due to nipple confusion. When u r parallely Breastfeeding u should choose the right bottle. I personally used Medela calma bottle and teats and they helped. May be u can try it. The key is to feed frequently which will inturn increase your milk supply. Milk secretion increases based on demand. So more and more your baby sucks or tries to feed ur milk supply will increase. Garlic or Garlic milk, fenugreek seeds, nuts, oats, green leafy vegetables, ridge gourd, bottle gourd, pumpkin, pulses. Including these in your daily diet can increase milk supply. Also check with your gynecologist and get some supplement like galact granules prescribed. It can also increase breastmilk. Don't leave long gaps between feeds, frequent pumping will increase milk.
