Dimple replied. Hey Archana, Hope your yeast infection is better now...I also had less milk supply in the beginning, my lactation consultant advised to take fenugreek seed tablets and mother' s milk tea. This helps in the production of milk... You can ask for precription drug Reglan from your OB/Gyn.
Dimple diana replied. to increase milk i heard oats is good also eat rice with veggies also water .after each breastfeeding squeese out the excess milk left behind this also increases the production of milk .hope this helps bye take care Poonam replied. Hii Archana,
I hope you are feeling better now well I dont know much about this..but for increasing breast milk you can have one juice before feeding..also massage with hotpack before pumping helps.Have lots of milk..& drink atleast 5 glass of water..I know much about this but still it difficult for me to breastfeed baby :( archana replied. Thank you for ur response ya we cheked with pediatrician he told that there is no infection in babys body and he adviced to nurse him so from today i started nursing him the pain is still there i have to see the doctor again tc bye.

tc bye Sabitha Jayashankar replied. Hope the yeast infection is better now.Did the baby have yeast infection inside mouth ?U can ask the pediatrician about what to do.The milk supply might have reduced due to infection.Do u have a lactation consultant in the hospital u delivered.They can also offer u very good advice in this matter.I would recommend u to continue nursing if its ok to with infected breast.But the infection might have reduced now.Drink plenty of fluids for milk supply.They say food preparations made from fenugreek seeds increase milk supply.
