Dear XXXX
Ideally Exclusive breastfeeding should be given to baby till 6 months of age. None of the Paediatrician would recommend given top feeds or external feeds.
If you notice these signs, then your baby should be getting enough milk:
1. Your baby's doctor is satisfied with how much weight your baby has put on since birth.
2. Your baby is feeding at least six to eight times a day and is content after a feed.
3. Breastfeeding feels comfortable and painless.
4. Your breasts feel emptier and softer after feeds.
5. Your baby looks healthy and has firm skin which bounces right back if you pinch it gently.
6Your baby is passing enough urine. He should have at least six to eight wet nappies every 24 hours, once he's more than five days old. Your baby's urine should be pale and odourless.
7. You can see and hear your baby swallow while he is feeding, and he seems to be latched on properly.
8.Your baby changes rhythm while sucking and pauses during feeds. He should start feeding again when he's ready, and come off your breast spontaneously when he's finished.
9. Your baby's stool is a yellowy-mustard colour by the time he is five days old.
There are ways to increase breast milk . I would suggest the following
1. Lactare capsules can be used
2. Shatavarex powder mixed in milk thrice a day
3. Tablet Domperidone will help increase milk output
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Take Care
