Re: breastfeeding hardship
Islamically two years, WHO recommmenda two years. Otherwise it is personal preference. I have done it for two years . found it very easy and convenient after the first few months.

Guys need urgent help.

Re: breastfeeding hardship
Nimbu the best to increase supply is to breastfeed as often as possible. In initial days baby used to feed non stop with very little break in between
There Is a misconception when people feel baby is feeding often because they are not getting enough milk but baby feed to build up supply.
Look at kellymom website. Best website for breastfeeding and will answer all your questions
Re: breastfeeding hardship
Nimbu, pump or feed the baby regularly as Hmmna suggested. eating cream of wheat suppose to help the supply.
here is the US you can get supplement at stores like GNC and they also have teas for it to have better supply.
Re: breastfeeding hardship
When my supply dipped low I took 3 Fenugreek pills (methi) three times a day along with 3 blessed thistle pills three times a day.
You can also get a prescription for domperidone/motilium. It is s drug and its side effect is increased breast milk production. I took 3 pills three times a day.
And I pumped like crazy.
After all this my supply went back up and I slowly weaned myself off the Meds.
If you are serious about breast feeding you can still save your supply but you will need to take supplements and pump
