Father of a 3 yr 11 m old boy3 years ago

Q.

My wife breast feeds our 18 day old baby for 30 - 35 mins. However, as the flow of the milk is slow, baby losses patience and cries a lot. Hence, to calm him down, we feed remaining required milk via formula. How can we improve the flow of milk ? What is the average flow of breast milk ?

A. if you are facing any problems regarding breastfeeding during your lactation period it is always better to take help from your lactation expert who will recommend you various methods for improvement. the phenomena of breastfeeding is completely related to hormones and the signal sent to the brain with your thoughts so it is very important to stay positively motivated and continue to put efforts.medicines re not of much help.if there is then you can apply cold p&rress locally and take Dolo tablet which is safe during this period.
