I tried expressing for 10 mins and got 30 ml milk from one side . I am using Lactare 2 tabs thrice daily
Can I continue Lactare long term ?
is the low supply due to pcos?
Is formula needed ? Or can I continue exclusive breastfeeding ? Tried to feed formula today but she is not taking formula .
Is the weight gain the only indicator if baby is getting enough milk ? She was 2.8kg at birth and now 4.2kg
Is the crying due to low supply of milk ?
If not Should we use a pacifier as baby wants to be fed everytime she cries .

Milk is sufficient as the child is gaining weight
Stop thinking so much
Being stress free is the only thing that will increase ur milk if at all needed.
Your child is getting enough milk for himself so dont worry
Lactair can be used for 15 days at a stretch not more time.
Crying mostly is due to colic for which use colicaid drops 8 drops 3 times a day for 3 to 5 days and your baby will be fine
