Question: how can I help produce more breast milk and what is the best way to moisturize a two months old skin is baby oil and baby lotion isn't helping
Brief Answer:
Refrain from giving top feeds
Detailed Answer:
Thanks foe asking on HealthcareMagic.
Breast milk is produced on the demand of the baby. If the baby is hungry, it will suck more. The greater the baby sucks, more will be the amount of breastmilk produced. So, in order to increasethe amount of breast milk all you need to do is to refrain from giving top feeds. Proper hydration is very important and you need to drink plenty of fluids.
If that still does not help, you may take Reglan tablet [metocloperamide] thrice daily and that should help.
For moisturizing the skin of a baby use lotions like Elovera or Dermadew [containing aloe vera].
Hope that helps.
Regards
