Breast milk for my baby
Hi
I delivered a baby boy on 4th August 5 pm , however until writing this on 6th aug, @2 am, i am not able to produce milk, and baby seems to be hungry. Doctor has advised against any thing else except Mother's milk. No option of Donor milk also given.
Thing is baby seems to be on empty stomach from delivery (almost 33 hrs) and i am in a helpless situation as to how to feed my baby.
Please suggest.
Regards
Puspanjali

Okay. 1st, Its a normal issue for many mothers. U dont need to worry , u can improve ur diet. Drink more liquids. Even if u feel ur milk is not enough, u keep trying, the more baby suck more milk production will happen. Night time feeding is more important.
2nd, if u think baby is hungry even after breast feeding, u have to start top feeds, which will be available, in pharmacy store according to baby's age.
Next Steps
u can also take galact granules/ shatavarex powder which may increase ur breast milk production.
Health Tips
as a mother, u need to relax, dont take stress and follow as i have advised.
