Not having sufficient breast milk
My daughter is 1.5 month old and I am not having sufficient breast milk for her according to her need. I had expressed my breast milk through manual pump & found 40ml of milk only after half an hour session which is not sufficient for my baby. My baby has jaundice history after birth . She usually sleeps when I am trying to breast feed her. I am feeling vry depressed bcoz I m not able to breast feed my baby. I am giving formula milk i.e. NAN pro every time when she cries after breast feeding. Pls suggest me how can I increase my breast milk as I am loosing hope. I feel very weak after delivery. I don't know the reason for low milk. If anyone can help me. I will be very grateful. Is weakness cause the low milk

There are few medicines which can increase milk production.
But the main thing is that your baby should not starve. You can give formula feed to make sure that baby is not hungry.
What is the weight of your baby and what was her birth weight?
