Hi anuja , follow the instructions as your primary doctor has advised you and act accordingly.

Please dr suggest me is tht okay?

Thanx dr for replying, my dr told me to stop it if I feel enough milk is there, so now i will reduce to 1 tab daily till 1 week and then will stop, is tht okay?

Hi anuja,perinorm increases prolactin levels and helps in breastmilk production but it's prolonged use can lead to side effects due to drug itself .Thus I would advise you to kindly consult your obstetrician /whoever started perinorm to decide about tapering the dosage and eventually stopping it .

Thanx dr for replying soon, i am taking perinorm 10 mg tab also twice a daily is tht okay because in starting days breastmilk milk was not enough so dr suggested me, now i am afraid to stop it whether my milk will decrease or what?plz plz plz guide me in this matter

Hi anuja, breastmilk is digested sooner than a conventional formula feed .Thus need for frequent feeding is there. No need to worry ,just continue the breastfeeding .The baby will demand feed as per his hunger so feed acoordingly .keep visiting your pediatrician on timely basis to make sure the growth milestones -height /weight , along with other milestones are in sync with your child 's age.

Hi innu ,very happy to hear that .May God bless your baby. Surely this goodness of breastmilk in infancy will go a long way in building a stronger immunity and better health for him.

Hi himaja ,I would suggest you breastfeed as much as possible at least till 1 yr of age .since you are giving formula feeds once a day along with breastfeeds ,I don't think you need to add any other top feeds as formula feeds available commercially according to a child's age provide adequate nutrition to them (do consult your family pediatrician about which one suits your child best ).

Thanku so much for giving so much knowledge of breastfeeding.... feeling good... i breastfeed my baby since birth.... he is well developed.. he was under wt. at the tym of birth... near about 1. 6 kg... now in 5 months he is 6. 5kg.

Hello doctor, My daughter is 4 months old, she is on breast feeding and one feed in a day is formula. So instead of that one feed of formula in a day can I start giving her something nutritional? Can you please suggest

Thanks

Thank u so much dr.

Hi suby, WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding for at least till 6 months but one can feed as long as 1- 1. 5 years or even more. But weaning should start along with other top feeds 1 year onwards as breastmilk alone won't provide adequate nutrition for proper growth.

Thanks for the information dr. Till what age breastfeed should be given. I have 6 months old baby.

Hi neera, try to switch over bottle feed for the night time (preferably do this with dimmed lights)and try to wean off as soon as possible and switchover.

my son is 2 n still am feeding him apart from regular milk n foods but he doesnt go tosleep untill i feed him. how can i stop this habit?

Hi Manisha, you could try weaning using spoon feeding method or maybe bottle method (I would suggest spoon method ). try spoon feeding once a day gradually and increase frequency as you wean child from breastmilk. Hope this helps .

My son is 21 months old and till now he is taking breastfeed. I want him to quit this habbit. Please suggest how

Very precise and informative ... And definitely encouraging too !!

Thanks Swati , Hima and Swapna. Swapna, you can breastfeed as long as you wish to but gradually add additional feeds as recommended by your pediatrician for the growing baby.

Very informative.. thank you very much. my baby turns one year by next month and she is still on breastfeeding. how long can she have mother milk?

Very useful information which will be useful to all...

This is a wonderful post on benefits of breasfeeding Dr Solanki. I specifically liked the part where you have listed the benefits for mothers. The post dispels some of the common myths associated with breastfeeding in reference to mothers.
