I delivered a baby boy on 30th of may and though it was a C Section I wasn't able to breast feed my baby for 3 days. After that I was lactating alot but my baby wasn't breast feeding so the doctor prescribed me cabliz 0.5 mg. I took 4 tablets and now the milk supply is next to zero. Now how to increase my milk supply as my baby is on formula feeding but I want to breastfeed him. Please answer.

I actually don't understand why you were not able to breastfeed for 3 days For C-section feeding is usually started after 2to 4hours after surgery. Initially even if there is no milk the sticky liquid called colostrum is good for the baby. Secondly caberlin tablet is given to stop Breast milk and is never given if the mother has to feed baby.
