Baby Feeding

Question

Baby Feeding

Asked for Female, 31 Years

Hi, My baby is 2months old. I've started bottle feeding since my breastmilk production was low because of thyroid issues. She doesn't take milk if I feed with spoon so I started using bottle. Are there any complications with bottle feeding? Now my thyroid levels are normal but milk supply has not improved. I tried ayurvedic preparations but didn't get any result. How can I improve my breastmilk production now?

Hi thanks for writing to Practo consult. Bottle feeding can expose baby to infections. Do observe proper bottle hygiene. Have 4-5 bottles so that your workload decreases. Also breast feeding baby as often as 2-3 hourly itself can help you increase production. Don't have negative thought about low production. Do read my article it may help you.
