I am sorry that you are trying hard without much success but it's good that you are continuing to feed.
There are medicines to increase milk production. Consult your obstetrician for prescription. Eat balanced diet and drink plenty of water.
The techniqes of breastfeeding are better taught in person. So either a neonatal nurse or a pediatrician could help you with the technique. If it's not possible for you to visit them please use videos about breastfeeding techniques on you tube.hope tho helps

The two most important factors for good lactation are a good healthy balanced diet by you and regular suckling by the baby,and of course,a relaxed mind!
Feed him at a gap of atleast 3 hours,not before.
Also,in addition,you can try cap lactare 2 caps thrice a day and tab perinorm twice a day,both for 15 days.
If effective,continue for 3 months,but inspite of doing all of the above,stop medicine and start top formula feed.
