I have a sister in law who just gave birth last April and wants to increase her milk supply but doesn't stop from mixfeeding her child with formula milk. She asks for galactagogues but I advice her to ditch FM and let baby latch to increase her supply since breastfeeding is a matter of demand and supply. How will you deal with it and what to say to her? Thank you.

You can encourage her to join Breastfeeding Pinays. It's a breastfeeding support group in Facebook so she'll feel empowered to breastfeed fully. Also you could share a thing or two about the top-up trap. (Photo attached and credits go to Breastfeeding Pinays for the photo)

Yup, I did ask her to join the group as I am a member as well. I don't know if she did it.
