Breastfeed and saliva. Milk or not 4.

To answer your questions: 1.The two most important factors for good lactation are a good healthy balanced diet by you and regular suckling by the baby.If both of the above are being done,you can try cap lactare 2 caps thrice a day and tab perinorm twice a day,both for 2 weeks,if effective,continue for 3 months,otherwise stop. 2.Both are normal,putting hand in mouth is NOT always a sign of hunger. 3.Give ONLY formula milk till 9 months of age,NEVER cow's milk,as formula is closest in composition to human milk,and cow's milk causes allergy very commonly in children. 4.Milk is 99% water,and since babies are exclusively on milk feeds,that's why. 5.Do NOT use any medicine,give just steam inhalations for cold or nasal block. I hope that answers your questions.
