Q1. Insufficient milk… my son is 2.5 month. .. feeling worried

There are so many possible reasons –

• Sore nipples
• Giving formula milk which reduces the time on which baby is on breast feed
• Tying to feed at regular interval rather than when demanded by baby.

Possible solution:

Let your baby feed on demand, as often and for as long as he/she wants. Always allow him/her to finish the first breast before offering him the second. Try to pump remaining milk after feed, it will increase milk supply.

Q2. My daughter is 2.2 yrs and weights 11 kg and height 3 ft. She looks very lean. She eats properly but her weight doesn’t increase. She is active. Am always worried about her health…. Hope she is not having some problem internally.
