First of all, I request you to meet your lactational expert to check for latching. To increase the milk supply you need to at least drink 4 L of water in a day. It may include any of the fluid. You may eat raw papaya, which is very good for milk supply
Next Steps
Try to eat as healthy as you can, including more green, leafy vegetables
