Yes. I actually started using my Baby Cry tracker app. I got early access through a friend. It's currently invite-only.
It gives me daily reports showing trends of how much my baby cried, and what at the time of the day she cries most of the time, and I also get to see week-to-week comparisons as my baby grows.

Let her know that emotion and state of mind can affect milk production. How often she eats and relax matters too. She should check all these and make them balanced. Definitely she will produce more milk for the baby. She should take plenty fluids like water, pap e.t.c and can also put baby to breast often, the suckling reflex will induce milk production.

Sore and cracked nipples occur when your baby's mouth is not properly attached to the breast. When breastfeeding, your baby's mouth should cover not just the nipple but the nipple and the areola that is the dark area above the nipple, that way your baby can properly latch and there wouldn't be room for cracked and sour nipples.
You should not breast feed within three days after taking Postinor-2.
