Firstly follow the sequence correctly.
Breast feeding followed by top feeds.
Baby has grown quite well for his age so no worries in growth terms.
Milk is always there but there are many secondary factors which govern feeds like stress,your diet etc etc.
For more inputs you can consult me.

Continue to assiduosly breast feed your baby for at least 15 to 20 min upto 30 min on each breast ( one breast at one sitting). Don't estimate the milk production as per hand expression ,as the suckling of the baby has a stimulatory effect on the the breast and the brain ( both prolactin and oxytocin release)) and the more you put the child to the breast ,the more will be the milk production. Continue using galactagogues and also homemade ones like methi, sonth ,sabudaane ki kheer and masoor daal,and papaya etc.And most importantly relax.Happy motherhood
