nabanita, why are you feeling milk is insufficient for baby? if baby is crying, it can be due to gas, or other discomfort... still if you feel it is insufficient, which does not happen when an initial milk feed with baby is established, you can take drumstick leaves and drumsticks, fenugreek soaked overnight, leafy vegetables, papaya etc to help in lactation... also, feed baby more frequently and have lots f skin to skin contact(baby on bare chest)... your baby's digestive system is not ready for other foods till 6 months and breast milk also gives high immunity to baby against many diseases... take care dear...

Nabanita there is nothing called insufficient breast milk. are u latching properly. also keep feeding on demand. more u feed more milk u will produce.
