I've been having some issues with feeding my baby. I gave birth 2 months ago, and because of pain and latching problems, the doctor told me to start formula feeding. Now that I'm thinking about switching back to breastfeeding exclusively, I'm worried because my milk supply seems to have gone down. I've tried all sorts of supplements to boost it, but I'm not sure what's working. My baby's 2 months old now, and I really want her to be on breast milk only. Is that still possible? Also, I'd like a lactation consultant to check if she's latching correctly. I'm concerned about how this change from formula to breast milk might affect her weight and growth. I really need some guidance on this. Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm having trouble producing enough breast milk after delivering my baby, and my little one isn't interested in nursing because of it. Could you suggest any ways or medications to help increase the milk flow? I'd love for my baby to start nursing and be satisfied.
