Hello Ma'am ! I am a new mom. Had a C-section delivery three months back. As I was not able to sit for long initially and feed my baby, I put him on formula milk. Also in the beginning feed was not enough for baby, so I had no choice. But now I feel guilty. How can I reintroduce breastmilk to my baby? The milk supply has almost diminished , can it get restarted by some method, powders etc .Please guide.
