Please review with your Obstetrician as you can be easily prescribed measures/medicines to help increase your milk output: stay stress-free, increase fluid intake, take nutritious diet especially nuts:these help increase milk production & secretion. Medicines (like Metoclopramide) can be tried Also offer areola along with nipple (rather than just nipple) while feeding; try and feed from one breast & empty one side, than feed from both breasts, as half-empty breasts decrease milk output over time
