Is Weaning From Breast Feeding Cause Any Problem To Both Baby And Mother?

Hello doctor! I m a mother of three month old baby. From the very beginning I lacked sufficient milk. As a result I had to give him Nan Pro and then switched to Enfamil A with spoon. Later I was forced by elders of the family to use feeding bottle.gradually he has stopped suckling completely. How bad is it for both of us and is there any remedy?

i gone through your question and understand your concern
you are mother of month of baby. baby stopped to take your feed,
breast feeding has benefit for both for mother and baby.
for baby it prevent many infection like diarrhoea, pneumonia asthma and many other disease. it also improve IQ of baby. for mother it prevents from obesity, breast cancer .
it is very time consuming process to shift for bottle feeding to breast feeding .
to increase your breast milk you should good nutrition with good amount of fluids in your diet (about 3-4 litre per day), take proper rest (2 hour in day is also recommended), have confidence that all mother who give birth have sufficient milk. not to have anxiety that you have less milk production.you can take tab metaclopramide 10 mg thrice a day for 7 days to increase milk production.
if he stop taking your milk ,try try try and try your milk.when he will hungry he take. if he not take your milk initially you can give by spoon.
