Hi dear
Welcome to the HCM,
Suckling of the breast by the baby with regular interval is the best stimulator for brain ( hypothalamus and pituitary) which in turn causes increase of lactation.
So please continue suckling of breast by the baby-- gradually the lactation will increase.
Avoid bottle nipple because it is quite soft so baby does not like to suck mothers breast as they are little harder.
Regular required Weight gain of the baby is the best and scientific indicator for the adequate milk production,
Protein rich (pulses) diet to be encouraged by the mother.
If you are really determined to feed the baby your self then surely ther will be increase in the lactation.
ALL the Best.
Breast milk is the Best""
thanks
