Low breast milk supply

Asked for Female, 32 Years

Hi doc, I have 1 month old infant for which I am not able to breastfeed because my breast milk supply is low. So we opted for combination feed. How can I increase my breast milk. Is there a medication for it. I am suffering from Hypothyroidism and had c-section delivery. Baby tries to pull milk but due to low flow cries a lot so we are feeding her formula for now. Please help

Ensure your thyroid levels are in control. Drink lots of water and take Fenugreek and fennel in diet. Put baby to breast frequently.
