Breastfeed

Asked for Female, 28 years

I have a baby boy via cesarean. He's 19 days old and absolutely fine Alhamdolilah but he's not taking my feed as I'm not having enough. I'm taking Hi Lacta twice a day, doing moist heat compresses, and using a breast pump. What else should I do to get him enough feed?

Dear Patient,

I'm sorry to hear that. Have foods that boost calcium/milk production like corn, popcorn, makhana, white zeera etc. Take two glasses of water before each feed. Also, take 2 tablets Motilium thrice a day to boost milk production. If this dont help don't stress out, feed your child with a little formula too to fill him up and a combination feed will help you both eventually to feel more content and satisfied.
