My cousin has a baby boy just two months ago, she went through C-
section to deliver the baby, she didn't have milk till five days and
now she is complaining of not producing enough milk for her baby. she
gets him to suckle often to follow that demand and supply rule for
breastmilk producation but not much of use. Her son cries a lot and
doctor says that baby is not getting enough feeds. The mom is very
determin to breastfeed exclusively for six months at least. Can anyone
help with idea to improve her breastmilk and avoid top feed??


You have had a lot of helpful suggestions already. I have just one to add.
If the placenta is not removed completely, the mother's milk will not "come
in". If your cousin's bleeding is still going on, tell her to see a doctor.
