Why do you think that breast milk is less.
If your baby is gaining enough weight, passing urine 6-8 times a day and playful active, your feeding is adequate.
Breast milk production largely depends on Sucking.
If you give formula feed frequently, Sucking will decrease and so production.
So give more and more frequent feeding.
Also if you use a bottle baby will have nipple confusion with your breasts.
To tide over the period you can take few allopathic and other medicines to increase milk supply.
