Suggest Treatment To Improve Breast Milk Supply

Sucking by baby is best medicine
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
The process of lactation is mainly dependent upon stimulation by the baby. Means when baby sucks the breast, it creates a reflex ( Sucking Reflex) to brain which secretes a hormone called oxytocin which helps in production as well as discharge of milk.
Since you are not feeding the baby, it is unlikely that breast milk production will continue like before due to lack of stimulation.
Prescribing any medicines at this stage is not going to help. Only thing that helps is training the baby to suck. Especially your baby seems to be healthy and gaining good weight, you can continue supplimenting with formula milk if not able to suck.
