Till 6 months of age your baby needs exclusive breast feeding. If your milk secretion is less you need to increase your fluid intake to about 3-4 litres a day. Also have nutritious food. If still not getting enough secretions please consult a doctor who can prescribe medicines for that.
Next Steps
check the weight of baby regularly. if baby is gaining weight adequately, there is nothing to worry about.
