Low milk supply
I had my baby 23 days back via c-section. I can see my milk supply is very low. I used to frequently make my baby feed for me to stimulate milk and I also tried a breast pump which pumped only 20 ml of milk. My doctor prescribed me lactare pills which helped a bit i.e. I was able to pump 80 ml of milk but I still feel that milk is not sufficient for my baby. He is also formula-fed due to my low supply. I completely want to shift to breastfeeding. Plus, my diet is also good, I eat foods that increase my milk supply yet I am finding less results. Any advices on how to increase my milk supply.
