Hi Anu,
First of dont worry. Your baby will be fine. I too have a 4 month old baby. even I do not get adequate quantity of breast milk.
There are quiet a few ways you can increase the quantity.
1. Soak a handful of Sabudana in water overnight. Pressure cook it next morning with just 1 whistle. add this to milk and have. Milk used to ooze out when I used to have it. take it atleast twice a day.
2. You can have Mother' s Horlicks too. Very good for your n your baby' s health. It increases quality and quantity of breast milk.
3. I have very often heard that having Methi Laddo with a glass of milk helps increase quantity of breast milk. I don' t know how its made. Maybe you can look it up in google.

Hope this is going to help you. take care. Loads of love to your baby.

you need to eat lots of proteins...2 glasses of milk every day, moong chhilka dal or sprouts whichever you prefer, curd, a a spoon of bhuna zeera or lactonic granules(avalaible at the chemist' s), sabudana kheer or khichdi whichever you prefer. I' m a vegetarian but I' ve heard that red meat & egg white also help produce more milk.
Dont start taking everything in one day or you' ll have an upset stomach. Begin with milk, lactonic granules & curd for the first 3-4 days. Then add on one by one. Hope this is helpful.

Hi Anu, I have been breastfeeding(exclusively) my baby girl who is now 5 mnths. I had to take this decision as with formula she had vomiting and diarhoea. I never had anybody to support me and to make things better there was a low milk supply from the start. A search on the net helped me find \" oats\" which seemed a easy option and I tried it. It truly worked for me.- 2 bowls oats with milk in it per day along with lactare capsules. It took atleast a week to see the difference but it worked. Then barley water also helped. I had half cup barley pearls in 1 litre water- simmer for 20mts. then strain it and have this liquid - repeat everyday. Make sure ur drinking plenty of water- 5 - 6 ltrs a day !Take proper meals at the right time and relax - u will see ur supply go up ! All the best ! dont give up.

Hi, you can eat a lot of greens esp ' Dill' its called as \" Sabakshi Soppu\" in Kannada as it is extreamly good for the production of milk also if you are a non-veggy you can eat mutton (red meat). I am a nursing mom and its worked wonders for me.

RE:Adult breast feeding
I was not breastfeed in my childhood hence the idea of sucking and feeding from a woman's full, engorged breasts has infatuated me. It is a fantasy that drives me wild like nothing else, just the thought of laying my head in a woman's lap while she brings her swollen nipples to my mouth.
