Accepted Answer

Please talk to a lactation consultant.

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.

Dear Mamma, weight is just a number. why do you think weight is a problem. please tell us the weight history. Baby should double the lowest birth weight by six months. As long as baby has a pee count of six plus in twenty four hours then your baby is getting enough milk. please don't give formula

Accepted Answer

Actually my baby is totally on formula milk ... I don’t produce breast milk properly

Accepted Answer

Breast milk is the only recommended food for new born baby and is sufficient to meet all her nutritional and growth requirements till six months.
Please avoid giving formula milk to the baby for weight gain purpose as its a substitute for breast milk and not for gaining weight.
Feed the baby well on one breast till it's completely empty before switching to the other side so the baby gets hind milk which is thicker comparatively to foremilk helps in weight gain
