Can Lactation Supplements Be Used For Low Breast Milk Supply?
Hi. My girl baby born with 2.1 kg. Initially she had breast feeding. But she does not cooperate with it. It made her too much cry. It couldn t be tolerated. I get dumped and depressed. So I give breast milk by cup and spoon. After 1 month my baby completely become formula fed by bottle. Milk production also stopped i think. After a long time vomiting, its comfortable for her now. But i feel very guilty about it. Even now I m willing to breast feed my little one. She is almost 5 months now and weighs just 5 kg. Is that possible.. shall I breastfeed my child by using milk production tablets..?
