Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Fever in post partum period should be well evaluated. The fever could be due to infection of the uterus. She has to be examined well. Please do consult your GP or her gynecologist.

If these is sufficient breast milk to the baby , it is recommended not to give any formula feeds. Lactogen is one such formula feed given only when there is breast milk failure
