The three main important factors for good lactation are a good healthy diet by you,regular feeding at atleast 2 to 2-1/2 hour gap,and stress free state of the mother.
What you can try is feed the baby for 5 mins each breast after 2-1/2 hour gap,followed IMMEDIATELY by top formula feed,if he takes top milk in good quantity after your feed EVERY time,that means your lactation is less.
In that case,your gynaecologist can prescribe meds to increase lactation.
