A. If your baby is passing urine at least 8 to 10 times when you are breastfeeding, it indicates that the breastfeeding is adequate for the baby. You can increase the breast milk supply by taking Shatavari kalp two tablespoon with milk or else you can take tablet lactare three times in a day for 15 to 20 days. And as you feed your baby more frequently the breast milk supply increases itself

A. Hi I went through a similar experience with a C-section. I couldn't breastfeed enough due to the painful stictches, So Upon my doctor's suggestion i started using formula milk for my little one. Aptamil Gold is a good choice because it has prebiotic HMO, which is great for your baby's tummy. You too can give it a try, do consult doctor once. And yes, don't stress about it too much.

A. Then you should go ahead with giving formula feeding if you are unable to produce sufficient breastfeeding and you are not even advised to take medicines for a longer duration and it’s advisable for you to start a formula feeding for your child
