I am using galact granules and lactare tablets to increase milk but not increasing.

Add sabudana, almonds (soaked overnight) in the diet. Increase your protein by including fish, chicken (if veg include plant-based protein like tofu).. seeds like chia seeds and flax seeds increases the milk production.

Hi,
The milk supply could be less initially for some women after C-section.
There are certain foods that can help you with lactation, in addition to the ones that you are having. Sabudhana, fennel seeds, drumstick, oatmeal and a few more.
Next Steps
If you could share more details about which region you are from and your dietary habits, we can discuss a detailed nutrition plan to support lactation and provide you all the essential nutrients that you need now.
You can contact me through the clinic.

first of all don't let the baby suffer because of insufficient breast milk, give her formula milk, in diet increase the intake of milk and milk products, and consult personally to get yourself diagnosed for the problem.
