Seek Help: Consult with your doctor and a certified lactation consultant.Above all make sure the baby is receiving enough milk as measured thru good growth, development and happiness.If not you may temporarily need some formula supplementation.Altho breast feeding is very, very important, the baby's health is moreso.
