Breast feeding and low milk supply

Question

Asked for Female, 26 Years

Hello, my baby is one and a half months old. From day one, he couldn't latch properly; I even consulted a lactation specialist nothing worked. I started giving breast milk by exclusively pumping and giving it.. Now supply is reduced, unable to give him as much as he wants. Please tell me what to do? Does lactare tablet help in increasing milk? Please help. I don't want to give formula milk..

There are many medicines which are credited with increasing breast milk production but they are not very effective. So under the circumstances it is best to give formula milk. It may not be the best solution but then you can't let your baby go hungry. I suggest you keep on taking some medicines to increase milk yield. If you succeed, fine, give the breast milk to the baby. If you don't succeed give formula milk to the baby.
