Hello dear
I understand your concern

Breast milk is the best for baby.
Nan pro should be given for assisted feeding in low breast milk production.
But 6-8 hour sleep is less for the 40 days baby.

Along with take following advises to increased breast milk production:
Granule galact with milk.
Offer breast milk every 2 hourly as it increased the breast milk production, offer both breast simultaneously and ensure there is proper attachment of baby to breast.
Take High protein diet,garlic, jeera, wheat and fruits like papaya.
Natural remedies: drum stick leave/juice can be use.
Drink 2-3 liters fluid daily and take 2-3 glass of milk daily.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
