hallo . Thank you for posting your question . I will do my best to help you . To increase your breast milk , drink good amount of liquid specially milk . At 6 months you can give semisolid diet to baby twice a day{ one is cereal based and another one fruits/vegetable based } and continue with your breast milk . This way baby will get sufficient calories , minerals and vitamins . Hope I have answered your query . If you have any furthur questions I will be happy to help .
