Pediatrician, Neonatology 's  Response
Kindly try to understand a thing that there is nothing called insufficient milk production in mother ( except few rare systemic diseases in the mother). thus there in no problem in milk production. the problem lies in the psychology of the mother and the family. Milk production is like demand and supply , if the baby needs more mother also produces more automatically. if you child is passing more than8 times urine per day then his feeding is normal as the water for urine is coming from mothers milk. Breast feed your baby frequently at 2 hours interval even at night. Dont give him bottle feeds as this will only hamper breast feeding which is the best food for your baby till 6 months of age.
