The two most important factors for good lactation are a good healthy balanced diet by you and regular suckling by your baby. Ensure a gap of atleast 2-1/2 to 3 hours inbetween breastfeeds,feed at one side for 5-10 mins ONLY. The best measure of good oral intake is urine output,which should be 5-6 times a day,AND regular weight gain. If you still feel your lactation is not sufficient,some medicines can be tried,but try the above first,if not improving in 7-10 days,get back.
