ExpertShyamala SathiaseelanLactation Educator and Counselor5 years agoA. basically baby needs 30 ml per hour of not feeding. use size zero nipple and do paced bottle feeding Try skin to skin and unrestricted access to the breast and latch baby on frequently. apump on schedule and power pump once a day. See if you can just provide breast milk

ExpertShyamala SathiaseelanLactation Educator and Counselor5 years agoA. Are you Breastfeeding even in small quantities and can you pump? As I said I can't endorse any brand. Each child is different and they react differently to each formula unfortunately. can you try giving baby supervised tummy time for gas issue

ExpertShyamala SathiaseelanLactation Educator and Counselor5 years agoA. Dear Mamma, why do you think your supply is low? Baby crying constantly, baby wanting to feed constantly, breasts feeling soft, breasts not leaking, not enough coming out when pumping are not indicators of supply. Every mother has colostrum from the time she is 12 weeks pregnant unless there is a medical condition. The more the baby sucks in the initial stages, the quicker the more mature milk comes in and the brain gets a signal to produce more. Breastfeeding works on a demand and supply basis. The more you feed the more your body will produce. As long as the baby has a pee count of six-plus in twenty-four hours then your baby is getting enough. During the early months, the baby cluster feeds (more feeding in the evening), there are growth spurts and sleep regressions and none of this is a sign of low supply. Your body automatically adjusts to baby's demand. 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 every day also helps, Please keep yourself well hydrated. If you do want to give a top-up, avoid formula and give expressed milk using a spoon. And if you do want to use a bottle then please use the slowest flow nipple and follow paced bottle feeding so that baby does not go through nipple preference/ confusion. Do talk to a lactation consultant if needed. Do you hear your baby suck and swallow? Do you think there is a latch problem, in that case, check out Nipple Flipple technique on YouTube and also Health Spoken Tutorial - IIT Bombay for cross cradle latch and other useful videos that can help you.

ExpertShyamala SathiaseelanLactation Educator and Counselor5 years agoA. Dear Mamma, how old is the baby and are you Breastfeeding at all? There is no such thing as best formula milk. You will have to try different formula to see what suits your baby best.

sheetal singhFather of a 6 yr old boy5 years agoA. My son is 6 months old. we mostly used LACTOGEN, and it suits him. last month we switched to SIMILAC, but he doesn't like it becoz constipation occurred. Then again we started LACTOGEN and now all is good. So what is think is it depends on baby which formula suits him/her. We have also tried NAN PRO. that is also good. but LACTOGEN is best for my baby.
