Only possibility is by frequent feeding, but usually once top feeding is started it is difficult to reestablish breast feeding.

Good nutrition, adequate sleep ,relaxed mind. That's all we can do. Many a times lactation stays suboptimal, whichever medicine you use. Talk to pediatrician and give top milk to baby.

If baby is growing weight as per the standards, breastfeeding is sufficient. Let the paediatrician judge that. And for increasing breastmilk, take a healthy diet, good amount of water, and good sleep. If still supply doesn’t increase you should consult gynaecologist for medical advice.

Lactate tablets can be taken. Also drink a lot of fluids. You can try the home remedies like fenugreek and garlic. Also put the baby to breast as frequently as possible.

Usually when top feeding is started it is extremely difficult to increase breast milk secretion.
Trying for frequent feeding is only way and paediatrican examining baby can decide about need of top feeds.
