This is their tummy size so your milk is more than enough.

Hi please stop the formula right away. All the babies will cry in the night and its not because of hunger, I'm sorry your doctor is not correct here, if possible consult a breastfeeding friendly doctor. Each bottle of formula reduces your supply..

Hi<br>
Please stop formula. 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 blo oxytocin levels i 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
