Low milk supply

Question

Low milk supply

Asked for Female, 28 Years

My baby is 3 month old. I have low supply of milk since birth. Even though I make my baby to drink my milk for 1 hour, still baby is hungry and finally end up with formula. Now my baby is asking for more milk that only formula is her main feed. I am scared of immunity of baby. Is it okay to give some breast milk what I have and main feed as formula milk to develop child immunity. I tried many but milk supply is not increasing even making baby to suck more. But she cries out of hunger.
