Hi lybrate-user. Breast milk supply can be adjusted only in first few weeks after delivery. At present, if you have low milk supply, then meet pediatrician if baby's growth is adequate. If not, pediatriacian will advise formula milk.

Hi lybrate-user. U can take lactare tablet 2 times a day. But breastfeeding usually develops in first week after birth. Later its too late to start treatment. Have you confirmed that your milk supply is low. A brestfed child if urinates 6-8 times & defecates 3-4 times usually is well fed.

The best way to increase milk production is to keep breast feeding your baby every 2-3 hours including night. This keeps your milk hormone activated. Giving top feed deactivates the milk hormone axis.
So keep your baby next to you all the time, touch itâs mouth to your nipples every 2-3 hrs or when the baby cries.

Hello lybrate-user,
breast milk production is a normal physiological activity after deliver a child under hormonal influence. Your body in in not position to induce milk, so your equerry is not suitable for your body, try other option. After 4-6 month babies can able to eat other than milk so nutrition issue is not so big.
