Hi, my daughter is 3 months old and has been on breast milk (not exclusively). Lately, my lactation has come down drastically even with the help of lactare tablets ( which I'm taking 6 per day). My baby's weight gain has also been affected due to this and my pediatrician has asked me to give her top feed twice a day (90ml each time). I've bought a tin of lactogen and every time I try to bottle feed her, she brings the roof down. She hates to be fed by bottle or palada or spoon or dropper or anything else I've tried. She cries herself to sleep but won't drink the formula milk. I'm worried about my baby's health.
Is there any specific feeding bottle that she might like or should I change the formula milk? Please help.
Thanks in advance.

I would like to differ a bit,NO logic of giving top feeds just twice a day.If your lactation is actually less,it won't be just two times a day,right?
Try this.Breastfeed the baby after a gap of atleast 3 hours,5 mins each side.follow IMMEDIATELY by top feed(any formula,all are more or less the same).
Do this at EVERY feed time.If your lactation is actually less,she'll take top feed every time.
You have to take a very good diet,feed at regular intervals,continue cap lactare,add tab perinorm twice a day for two weeks,if effective,continue for atleast 3 months.
