​Kindly note that exclusively breastfed babies rarely have diarrhoea. Hope you are not on any medications, herbs or giving your baby any of such without a prescription. If you are doing any of such, please stop.

Also note that the stool of infants are usually semi-formed like egusi soup and that is not diarrhoea as some mums assume but normal stool as well. Keep breastfeeding exclusively and if it persists kindly see a paediatrician to allay your worries.

Check that you are actually lactating well.....do you have enough letdown.
As a breastfeeding mother you need to take a lot of fluid and also eat well balanced diet in order to improve your supply.
It is also possible that the baby is not latching well on the breast.

A 4 years old child should fully be on health family meal without the breast milk as he can not get the needed nutrient and vitamins from breast milk.

Regarding not being able to express enough milk, first you have to be calm and very patient, eat healthy and well, take lots of fluids and keep putting the baby to breast as lactating is a demand and supply process. The more your baby sucks the more the brain signals for more production.

Breastmilk alone is not enough for your baby at this age. Keep offering variety of complementary food and feed him patiently by yourself. Feeding children you need a good dose of patience.

Please know that breast milk expressed in the first few minutes is composed mainly of water and lacks the necessary nutrients. You need to spend more time to ensure that you get nutritious milk.

You have galactorrhea you need to see your doctor who will check your prolactin level(high level of this hormone causes this) and try to find out the cause. There are medications that would help dry the discharge.

No, please note that breastmilk is produced based on demand. That is, the more your baby sucks, the more the breastmilk will flow.
Eat well, drink lots of water and fluid generally but most importantly relax

The dynamics of breast milk production is such that milk is produced by virtue of the stimulating effect of the child's suckling on its mother's nipples triggering a "letdown reflex" which delivers breast milk produced "de novo" [a new] directly to the breast ducts and into the baby's mouth [contrary to the popular belief that the bulk of breast milk is "stored" in the breast].
You need to relax and not to worry as it would negatively affect breast milk production. You also need to eat well and drink lots of water.
Breastfeeding is demand and supply. The more you put the baby to breast, the more the milk flows.

To increase breast milk supply, you need to eat well, drink lots of water and fluid generally. But most importantly relax, avoid stress as much as possible.

Please if your baby is less than 6months, kindly return to exclusive breastfeeding.
Your baby knows better thing o, lol! Breast milk is definitely superior to formula. Even the formula makers state on their tins that breast milk is the best! Please continue to breastfeed exclusively and on demand till your baby is 6months.

NO, even if you did not breastfeed for days and the milk is still flowing, no need to throw away....BREASTMILK DO NOT SOUR...IT IS ALWAYS FRESH AT THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE

Yes, dieting can affect the calorie requirements needed by your baby for optimum development.

Dieting is not encouraged in breastfeeding mums. You should eat enough

You need to eat balanced meals, rest well, drink lots of water and do away with worries.

It depends on the SPECIFIC MEDICATION and usually the pharmacist would have given you such explicit instructions and information. You can also read the DRUG LEAFLET in the package to know if milk or juice should or should not be taken with the specific medicines. It is NOT A ONCE SIZE FITS ALL!!

Try and express the excess milk. Also apply breastfeeding pad to soak up the milk that leaks

You need to relax, drink a lot of water and breastfeed/express the breast milk even while at work...the higher the demand or expression of breast milk, the more the milk flows

You will need to apply a lot of patience, he is new to this transition of other food aside breast milk. Do not expect your child to finish a full bowl of food but some spoons offered occasionally will do. Also try to be creative in presenting your meals, use colourful plates and spoons as well. Keep trying and do not give up.

The woman have galactorrhea, she need to see a doctor who will check the prolactin level (high level of this hormone causes this) and try to find out the cause. There are medications that would help dry the discharge but it is better to find out the cause before prescribing medications, see your doctor.
