1.proper latching with appropriate position is needed
Complete emptying of breast is needed followed by burping
2.after feeding if baby is sleeping for 1 to 2hrs nicely
And passing atleast 6- 8times urine per day
Means feed is adequate
3.get one lactation counselling and physical consultation of baby to look for hydration status
4.incresse your water intake
And don't give bottle feed..you can give paladay or with sterlized spoon bowl
