Breastfeeding is always a very important factor for the baby and mother and many times there are some problem faced by mother because of either wrong position while feeding lack of proper diet stress related factors.
A proper is counselling is required which can be done by a lactational counsellor along with a proper diet with plenty of liquids some supplements may be helpful like shatavari .
Also try to avoid giving top milk in initial stage specially with bottle feeding which may be the culprit for lactational failure most of the time .

For a preterm baby, I would never recommend outside milk, low production of milk can be corrected with proper instructions, there are health issues that might crop up on giving top-feed
Next Steps
consultation with pediatrician at the earliest.
