My sister gave birth 20 days ago. she does not have enough milk to feed her baby. she says that she has pain at the nipple site. she approaches a doctor who prescribes some vitamin supplements. how can she improve breastfeeding and relieve from pain?

There are simple lanolin creams that help the pain. A basic approach is to limit feeds to 5 min/side (80% extracted) and go 2 hrs between feeds. This improves milk production and decreases breast overuse from extended feeding. Try it for a week & the production should be up and the discomfort diminished.

Dr Dosanjh and another doctor agreed

Lots of hydration for milk supply. Warmth to nipples, lubricate with Vaseline, and limit feeds to 10-15 min to avoid irritation

Dr Dosanjh agreed
