A. Hey i too am suffering from low milk supply, I take Shatavri powder 2 times with milk and 2 suprada Capsules thrice a day. The capsules are Ayurvedic and has been prescribed by doctor. It has helped me a lot, you can research from your end and have it instead of other ones. I also top feed and give 90 ml formula every 4-5 hrs in a day. Hope this helps.

A. everytime feed the baby with mothers milk if it is insufficient then you can give formula milkFurther it is advisable to consult your local doctor for appropriate examination of the baby physically and if there is need to do any investigations if required

A. hey hey mommy these can help increase supply 1. drink a lot if water minimum of 1glass before every single feed. 2. have garlic chutney as much as possible 3 include jeera in your daily diet. 4. have galact granules after talking to your gynwac it's Ayurvedic available at all medical stores. 5. feed more often. the more you feed more is the production. Feeding regularly will help so in between feeds you can pump using a breast pump. You could invest in a manual or electric breast pump.. it's absolutely easy to use and very comfortable as well. . the more you feed/pump more is the production. hope this helps.
