Can we find any lactation consultants who can help with this?

Please avoid bottle and formula feeding as it is different from breast feeding
Breast milk is essential for brain growth and immunity
So give only exclusive breastfeed till 6 months of age
It will be sufficient for the baby
So don’t worry
You take plenty of fruits and vegetables, egg , fish, meat, dhal
Continue iron and calcium supplements given to you during pregnancy till 6 months
