Hello,
Since it is a c section, it may take some time to have sufficient breast milk production. You can also follow up your with your obstetrician and take presribed medicines to increase breast milk supply.

Hi
Breast milk will slowly increase as the baby learns to suck the breast properly which will take couple of days since this is c section
Concentrate on diet like garlic greens milk and fish
High intake of those food will naturally increase breast milk
If everything fails then go for medicines like cap lactare 2caps thrice daily after food
But make sure she empties the breast after feeds to avoid breast engorgement
