2022-07-24 08:03:11
Hello, I delivered baby 7 days ago and she got Jaundice as well as there was weight loss from 2.8kg to 2.3kg My breast is not so much generating I feel which is making my baby can't sleep continuously for 2 hrs. Milk comes and goes off and I don't use any formula powder Can you suggest what must be the quantity of milk for a new born per feeding ? How much feeding per day is needed ? How to increase the breast milk naturally ? Any other things to keep in mind while breast feeding ? Thank you

Greetings Newborn will loss  10% of it's weight during first 8days then there will be weight gain.If the baby is having urine output of 5-6times/day,enough sleep between 2feeds,and active then will call it as adequate feeding. Pet day around 8-12 feeds are adequate at frequency of 2-4th hrly. To increase breast milk mother should have adequate food and plenty of water, good bonding between baby and mother with correct feeding technique.For further queries kindly book online consultation with me so I can guide you.
