Q: What to do to increase breast milk flow? What type of foods to take, the child is 5 months old now and his mother has little milk. Please suggest.

A:Eat normally, drink plenty of fluids, eat fruits and vegetables. If the baby is 3 months old and milk is insufficient, either give supplemental formula feeds (powdered baby milk) or start giving mashed fruit as supplemental weaning.
