Now it is strongly recommended by all pediatricians that all babies should be breastfed at least upto 6 months of age. Continuous sucking of breast by the baby is a stimulus for breast milk secretion. Hence i strongly advice you that you have to breast feed your baby continuously. To increase the secretion of breast milk you can take the following medicines for a short period (7-10 days ):
Tablet. ranitidine 150mg thrice a day
Tablet. metoclopromide 10mg thrice a day
Tablet. chlorpromazine 10 mg twice a day
Tablet. ranitidine 150mg thrice a day
Tablet. metoclopromide 10mg thrice a day
Tablet. chlorpromazine 10 mg twice a day
