Hi, thanks for writing..
Yes, breast feed the baby as much as you can.. It can help him improve the baby's health and immunity as well as the bonding with the mother.. If you have small nipple, use nipshiel which simulates bottle.. Drink lots of water, include milk and high protein diet to increase the breast milk.. Hope I have answered your query.. Good day..
