A member asked:
I have been feeding my baby breast milk & a bottle of formula a day but is it physically possible to increase my breast milk supply even if baby is 2 months old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The best way to generate more milk supply is to feed more often & more efficiently. Baby gets 80% in the 1st 5min/90% in 10 so feeding 10min/side every 2-3 hrs can push your body to make milk. Formula cuts back the kids need to feed from you. I encourage moms to avoid formula until the milk is well established at 3-4 wks. However, do what you need to do to survive.Baby needs a healthy mom.
