i have a 2months old baby boy i am struggling low milk production he doesn't get enough milk from me i fed to my baby cow's milk for the 1st month then converted to formula milk is it safe to infants any side effects i want to improve milk production?

Accepted Answer

Increase milk produc: It's important to understand that your body is uniquely able to make milk especially for your baby and that it can easily increase how much milk (think about women who can nurse twins!). It does take 36-48 hours to see increase however. This means increasing how often and how long you nurse your baby, will feedback to you producing more milk. Please do NOT feed your infant cow's milk!

Question 2

are there any side effects to using breat milk and formula milk concurrently for feeding a 3 weeks old baby?

Accepted Answer

Not  particularly: There is a chance that any such outside feed will eventually lead to a reduction in breast milk supply  to the point it is no longer productive. Many would just increase frequency of breast feeding &amp; limit duration to 5-10 min/side until BM production increased  enough that supplements were not necessary. In general it does not hurt the kid.

Question 3

dear doctor
i have given birth to a baby on monday night. today is the 5th night and i still dont have milk in my breasts.  i was advised to take elgonyl for milk production . please tell me if this is ok or are there bad side effects ?

Accepted Answer

Absent lactation ?'s: After five days following childbirth, lactation may not occur. Elgonyl will not always stimulate milk production, and is primarily an anti-psychotic used for schizophrenia.  At this point, see your OB physician for pituitary function testing, and perhaps a referral to a reproductive endocrinologist.
