Hello, The more baby latches the breast the better is the production. Even if struggling, don't keep her off breasts. She will never get optimum nutrition, nor will she learn how to take the milk directly.

Dear lubrate user, breast milk output best increased by frequent breast feeding. You should feed at least 10-12 times. You should also see for breast engorgement. More you allow to suck at breast almost 2hourly.
