Hello dear
Understand your concern
I think as you are working women, there is not frequently breast feeds to baby lead to poor suckling reflex may be cause of low breast milk production.
I give following advice to improve quality and production of breast.

Offer breast milk every 2 hourly when you are at not work as it increased the breast milk production,
offer both breast simultaneously and ensure the proper attachment of baby to breast.
Diet: High protein diet,jeera, garlic, wheat and fresh fruits fruits like papaya.
Drink plenty of waters (2-3/L per day)
Take 2-3 glass of milk/day.
You can also try,
Natural remedies like drum stick leave/juice can be use.
Medicine:
Capsule lactare for 4-6 week
Granule galact with milk.

So consult the gynecologist and get the proper prescribed drug.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
