Hi. I have a 17 days infant, my milk is not sufficient to give him. I am giving lactogen also in between my milk in day and night. Is it OK to give like that to my baby?

No need to give lactogen at present. It is wise to give milk alone till 6 months of age. You can give milk to your baby. You can consult your obstetrician to increase the milk production. Drink plenty of water (1/2 litre), 30 min before each feeding. Avoid tea and coffee and you can drink milk with mothers Horlicks. Milk will come if you keep trying.

Yes its ok. But answer my question that how and why do you know that your breast milk is not enough? If your baby is passing urine adequately i.e if you are changing diapers 6-8 times (8-10 times in case of cotton nappies) then your breast milk is sufficient for your baby. Concentrate on taking high protein diet for good milk output.
