If your baby's weight is ok as per the doctor, then don't worry about it. Also, don't stress about your milk so much, the more you stress, the more it reduces. Ensure you have sufficient liquids in your diet and have good quantity of water, drink water before you start feeding and that will help you stay hydrated. Add makhane to increase BM.

Hi kalpana.. my son is 49 days old. even i faced the same problem. even after feeding for long, he never used to sleep for long and cry most of the time. that does not mean your milk supply is less. sometimes baby dont drink full stomach n fall asleep. then i tried to express milk n gave him through bottle. now he sleeps well for 2hours. now i give him my feed for 20-30 mins n then feed the expressed milk. this way he is latching also and got the habit of bottle also. life has become much easier though pumping milk and sterilizing bottles is extra work. but trust me its worth it.

i use pigeon breast pump. even i had same notion that my milk supply is less. but luckily i am able to pump 400 ml of milk everyday. i pump 5times a day whenever possible. give it a try before quitting breastfeed. after all milk is liquid gold n therez no comparison to it.

hii Kalpana !! I am a mother of twins and I had the same problem . I tried all home remedies but nothing was as impactful and fruitful . so doctor suggested sataverex granules it's a zandu product , ayurvedic and its non harmful or had any side effects . plus from the second or third day u will see difference in milk quantity . milk is very essential so have this powder mixed with warm milk twice or thrice a day . guaranteed results .

Eat food which you used to eat before marriage(your mummy's food) .. Apart from this... eat healthy food.. Have liquid daal in lunch and dinner along with sabjis. Drink lots of water.. Have dry fruits.. Don't drink lots of milk.. As it will lead to gas problem in you and baby.. 2 glasses of milk will be sufficient.. Lastly.. BF baby.. The more you BF.. More milk will come.. Esp. in the night.

mother's body will produce enough milk for the baby , more the baby sucks milk production is more ...try frequent feeds for your baby may be every half an hour , it's the demand and supply so your body will automatically produce more milk . still you can consult your doc and have some medicines ....but do try avoiding formula milk. Also you can take rava , methi kanji or ganji evryday twice morning and evening . this will help in more production of milk .
