My baby is 11 months old. For 6 months I have been providing him both breast milk and formula as he was not satisfied. For past 3 months he is drinking only formula and other solid foods. Meanwhile people used to judge me for giving formula. Every thing was fine until I came across saying that about 95 % mothers can produce sufficient milk for their babies. Now I feel guilty and fear if I also could produce sufficient milk for baby. I'm taking lactare tablet. Bt no improvement is there. I'm trying everything. I feel depressed. Pls help. I feel im not a good mother.

Hello, I can understand what you are going through. One very important thing for good milk production is being stress free. Please first stress free. As you told you baby is 11 month old so please focus on complementary feeding like home made food. The baby after 6 months maximum nutrition depends upon how good food he is having. The stress you are taking on how to increase milk production divert it to feeding him food and built his nutrition. Stay calm and for nutrional advise contact me.
