    Breast feed reducing
    Hi, my daughter is three months old, she was on complete breast feed, from three weeks my feed is reduced that I only am able to feed her once a day or night, why its reduced and what should I do to increase it back, so that she can be on breast feed again completely?

    You need to speak to your Physician/Pediatrician. There could be several causes.

    How are you feeding her now?

    Breast feeding is supply and demand. The more often she is at the breast, the more milk you will make. However, it is not uncommon for milk supply to dwindle around this time for some women.

    If you pump, try pumping hourly to try to increase your supply. Unfortunately you may be one of those women who have to switch to formula.

    She spits up the formula or when you breast feed her?

    Best to keep her with the bottle then. Pump as often as possible.
