Try to take Methi Seeds .Soak them over night and drink that water the next day and a that seeds along with milk or yoghurt.Also eat garlic and Lauki ( சுரைக்காய் ) .In the mornings drink Oats Kanji .Don't worry your milk supply will be back to normal after the cycles .

Soak Methi seeds overnight and then drink that watre in the mornings and then eat that methi seeds ( you don't have to chew just swallow lit like a tablet ) .do this after every meal for 3 days .Also have garlic in yoru diet and then eat lots of carbs .

Garlic boosts milk supply. I had to squeeze excess milk in the shower after taking garlic. And the more you pump or feed, the more we get milk. But I tried after 6 months my best but I didn't succeed coz babies need to suck a lot for the milk to supply and my son wasn't that interested after 6 months. So had to switch to formula and he seemed to love it!!

I am giving her the formula milk and when I am putting her on me she doesn't know how to suck..think she forget after using the bottle..but I need to give her my milk at least by pumping and when I pump I get only 1 r 2oz..I need to increase it..I m trying all the ideas given by u all..is there any tablet to increase milk supply all of sudden?

Keep on pumping every 2 hours. Definitely pumping will increase supply. To see the supply increase it will take few days and it varies from person to person. Eating garlic and methi seeds increased my supply well. Since your DD is used to bottle and I think she is expecting the same BM flow. It happened with me too. I used to give half stomach cow milk(I dint introduced formula at all) and then BM. I did like this till I got back, my supply and stopped the cow milk. Hope this helps.
