Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for posting on HealthCareMagic. Breast milk is the best food for a baby and is produced on the demand of the baby. With hunger, as the baby suckles more, more breast milk is produced. The adequacy of breast milk would be expressed by the number of times urine is passed. At least 5-6 episodes of passing urine in 24 hours is to be considered adequate. Do not give any supplemental feeds as it is going to reduce the hunger and hence reduce the amount of breast milk further.
Giving lactonic granules 1 sachet twice daily with a glass of milk to the mother should increase the amount of breast milk produced. Giving medicines like reglan tablets for a few days may also help.
