There is no home remedy to maintain AFI. It depends on how big is the leak in the bag of waters. If the leak is in the lower part of the bag then all liquor will suddenly escape without any warning and baby will be expelled after some time. If it is a high leak then the rate of escape of liquor will be slow. Liquor is being simultaneously produced. So, for many days the amount of liquor doesn't decrease.
Either way there is risk of infection and some other complications.
