Hi
Start taking Shatavari Kalp 2 tsf,(an ayurvedic tonic for breast milk increase) in milk twice a day.
In diet include Bajara Roti,milk,dates,methi subji.You should drink milk as much as possible.
Do some exercise & massage breast gently at the time of bath.
Eat healthy food.
Take enough sleep.

have a positive attitude, god has given u baby why will he deny breast-milk? negative thoughts, stress, tension, job lack of proper diet and exercise can let u lower ur milk production. take good diet, take more coconut , methi, suva-dana(dil), take tab-leptaden(ayurvedic product) 2 tabs thrice a day with milk, u surely will get sufficient milk. secondly dont diagnose that u have less milk by just feeling it, better if u go by babys weight gain , if its 20-30 grams per day since birth , probably u r having wrong thought of less milk. if genuinely less than consult doctor for alternative food for ur baby,
