The two most important factors for good lactation are a good healthy balanced diet by you and regular suckling by your baby AND of course,a relaxed state of mind. Feed ONLY at a minimum gap of 2 hours,don't wake him up for feeds,give nothing else by mouth. Till the lactation is sufficient for the baby,give top formula feed using a spoon and katori IMMEDIATELY after your feed,EVERY time. Some medicines may help you too,but try this first.
