Lactation consultant

Question

Asked for Female, 32 Years

I delivered 2 months back, but due to pain and poor latching doctor suggested to start formula for my baby. After that when I plan to put my baby on breast milk I felt less milk supply. So I started all kinds of supplement to increase my supply. Now my baby is 2 months old and I want to put her on breast milk exclusively. So I want to know is it possible now? I also want to my baby to be checked by a lactation consultant if she is latching correctly. I need guidance on this issue. Also I'm concerned that this shift from formula to breast milk shouldn't hamper my baby's weight gain and growth. Need help and advice. Please suggest. Thanks in advance.
