Good morning all! I have become a mother 12 days ago and unable produce sufficient milk for my baby. Even by pumping I am lactating only 10-20 ml with both the breast, due to which my son remains hungry. Kindly suggest what to do. I do not want to use formula milk for prolong period.

Good morning!<br>
Congratulations 🎊<br>
This is a phase , keep latching is the mantra. The more you latch better the milk supply. All baby cries are not for hunger, they are just born so they cry to adjust to the new environment, they cry for attention. Feed for twenty minutes ten minutes each side of the breast and burp your baby after every feed well and don't put the baby flat on the bed immediately after feeding at an interval of two hours that's enough. <br>
Breast feeding, it's a mind game. If you think u can, your hormones play the game positively. If you think you cannot they play negatively. If you have positive thoughts the led down refluxes release oxytocin which is the major hormones that helps releasing milk. If you are stressed this hormone is suppressed by adrenalin in the brain to decrease the amount of milk. When a mother nurses, not only do her blood oxytocin levels increase, but her body makes more receptors, permanently <br>
increasing her feelings of love;and this is a cycle your baby in turn does the same. So more latching more milk.. If your baby's pee count is six to seven times a day and gaining adequate weight then it's a sign of well fed baby.<br>
Include ajwain, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, garlic, turmeric, pepper, fenugreek, bottle guard, drumstick, Oatmeal, carrots, barley to improve the milk supply
