I am giving you very sincere advise to have confidence in yourself and continue breast feeding which is child’s birthright & you as. a mother want to give it . You can drink extra fluids& fish & til , jeera etc natural galactogogues . Complete emptying will result into more milk formation . Breast milk will give many benefits to baby
