Baby not having sufficient breast milk
My 4 months and 12 days old baby is not having sufficient breast milk. She just refuses to have it after having some 30-40 ml per feed. I am exclusively pumping and bottle feeding as my baby does not latch. This month in the last 24 days she has just gained some 200 grams weight. She is completely on the breast milk. Please suggest something on this.
