In addition to hormonal changes during breastfeed there is a nutritional deficit created during breastfeeding. Do not forget that currently you have to eat for your baby as well as for your nutritional needs. Increase protein intake in your diet. (dal, pulses,fish, meat, nuts). Take atleast 3-4 lit of water or juices. For medication consult online in private.
