Low milk supply

I have a 2.5 month old baby, who started latching properly only from the last few weeks ..so from the beginning she was largely on formula and remainder on my milk.. slowly this started changing and she is now more on breast milk and less on formula.. But now she is not liking the bottle and wants to breastfeed.  Since I was not feeding her all the time, I feel I don't have a good supply as she keeps getting hungry after 45mins to 1 hr of feeding. At times she also cries at my brest as the milk is not coming in a good flow. What can I do to boost my milk supply?

Orbeez water beads swollow

On Saturday afternoon I found my son playing orbeez or water beads at neighbours place. He is 3.5 years and communicative. I asked hime whether he had swollen any of it or not to which he told me no. But as a mother I got anxious and worried a lot. But since then I am keeping a close watch on him. He is active, has passed 5 normal stools since then and eating and playing normally. I read somewhere that these orbeez enlarge in intestines and cause bowel obstruction. Please guide me that my son might not have this as it has been 48 hours and he is behaving normally.
