Low Breast milk
Hi doctor, I delivered my baby though normal delivery 2 weeks ago. Ever since my delivery I have very low milk supply. I am taking lactare capsules as per doctor advise but still I do not see any change after taking it for 11 days. My baby s always crying because of low milk and I am feeling him with formula milk once in a while. Please advise on what I can do to increase my milk. I am also eating all food items like oat meal, garlic, milk, fenugreek, cumin seeds and whatever I was asked to add to my daily food.
