Feed the baby every 2 hours and on demand. Ensure there is proper latching . Feeding the baby appropriately itself will boost the milk supply. Have a well balanced diet. Pumping of breast milk will also boost the production.

It will not affect your breast milk and breast feeding, add galact granules 2 tsf twice daily with milk for better milk production.
