Hello dear,
Welcome to Health Care Magic. For 1 feeding your baby needs 120ml of Lactodex,but you should give to her food according of her appetite. If she will not want more you should not insist. For stimulation of lactation I suggest-
1.Drink 3 litres fluid every day(water,apple juice,green tea with milk, soup,dahi,milk porridge).
2.Sleeping and walking during day.
3.Take Domperidone 1 tablet 3 times after 15 minutes before meal.
4.Phytotherapy- fenugreek,fennel,chamomile.
5.Shower massage for breasts,supporting bra, exercises for chest and shoulders.
Take care
