Hi my baby is 25days old. He s exclusively breastfeeding. I took 2 lactare tablets thrice daily (2-2-2) since second day of my delivery as suggested by my pediatrician as baby had dehydration on the second day due to lack of sufficient milk. After taking lactare and continuous feeding of baby my supply increases and I am exclusively breastfeeding him. And lactare tablet was stopped before I got discharged on 5the day as I got enough supply. Though my baby pee count is nearly 10 and poop count is 3 or 4 times a day, I started taking lactare capsules the same dosage since 10 days before because I had loose breast sometimes and baby feeds for more tym. I felt taking the capsules baby is taking less tym for feeding and my breast seems little heavier and full before feeding but not engorged and all seems okay. So taking the lactare capsules gives me more confidence about my supply. So is it okay to take the lactare capsules daily 2 capsules 3 times a day (2-2-2? Is it over dosage? Does it have any side effects taking 6 capsules a day,

Hi lybrate-user you can continue taking letter as long as you are ok with the milk supply is concern.

As long as you don't have breast engorgement you can ...more

Only possibility is by frequent feeding, but usually once top feeding is started it is difficult to reestablish breast feeding.
Needs of baby will be decided by Paediatrician

Good nutrition, adequate sleep ,relaxed mind. That's all we can do. Many a times lactation stays suboptimal, whichever medicine you use. Talk to pediatrician and give top milk to baby.

If baby is growing weight as per the standards, breastfeeding is sufficient. Let the paediatrician judge that. And for increasing breastmilk, take a healthy diet, good amount of water, and good sleep. If still supply doesn’t increase you should consult gynaecologist for medical advice.

Let paediatrician decide for baby - whether top feeds required or not and about frequency of stools
