    Hi Sasi, good to know that you are successful now. Take ulutham parrupu (urad dal) and fry that nicely till you get the aroma. take equal amount of rice (raw or par boiled) along with it and powder them in mixie. Make thick kanji with it by adding jaggery and a teaspoon of ghee (if you want). I am giving it to my daughter who is breast feeding her 50 days old son. This helps a lot in sustaining the breast milk spply.

    Good to know that you've found an alternative. But stress is really horrid for b.feeding. You need to be absolutely relaxed. You can also increase supply by pumping at regular intervals - abt 4/5 times a day. You can save the milk in bags (must be able to get them in most drug stores ) and feed your baby the same from the bottle.

    hi,

    are you eating healthy food, drinking milk, buttermilk and taking lots of water?
    its very important to keep yourself hydrated.

    and feed often. the more the child drinks, more is produced.


    and please note if baby is gaining weight?. if yes he is healthy.

    don't panic. you may slowly introduce the formula. may be dilute it initially, if rashes come back, consult pediatrician, they will be able to recommend a brand that suits the baby.

    happy motherhood.

    regards.

    @sasi291 Try pumping after every feed. Garlic is good lactating.

    There are many reason to reduce milk. I suggest you that eat much enough food and drink enough water.Because sometimes lack of food milk is not produce.
