I have a 11-month-old baby. He has not been drinking breast milk for past 4 months and now I wish to restart breastfeeding. I took lactate tablets for 8 days and there is a slight improvement. How long should I take the tablets?

Hello! you can take the tablets thrice a day for 15 days. Other things that may help- follow a clean and healthy diet adequate sleep hydration- lots of fluids sleep with the baby and connect.

As baby is nearing one year, take it for 3-4 months more and stop breastfeeding by 1&1/2 years. Also start weaning as baby will not get all nutrients through breast milk only.
