Lactare capsules can be used for increasing lactation but remember the hormones for milk production work best when you continue to breast feed . If you start giving top feeds even occasionally , it will reduce your milk production significantly .
I am not clear why you feel the milk is not sufficient for your baby . Milk production is considered sufficient when :
a) Baby sleeps 2 to 3 hours after a feed
b) passes urine 6 to 8 times a day
c) continues to gain weight @ about 150 to 200 gm per week in first 3 months of life
