Please latch on the child properly to breast. Let him suck and decide. Whether your milk is enough or no will be decided by how much urine he passes and weight gain.
Should gain approximately 20-25gms per day and urine 6-8 times a day.
If you still feel it's not enough then talk to your gynaecologist.
Next Steps
you can take sataverex powder 2tsp in milk twice a day
