Brief Answer:
u need to remove the dependence on top feed and let the baby crave for feed
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Breast milk is produced in response to the child's demand which is expressed with increased amount of sucking. The hungrier the baby, more does it suck. But if external feeds are given, automatically the tendency to suck comes down and so does the amount of breast milk produced. So, in order to increase your breast milk, you have to remove the dependence on NAN Pro. The adequacy of feeds is reflected in the number of times urine is passed. If the child passes more than 6 times in 24 hours, you need not worry.
If you have not breast fed much over the last 2 months, your body physiology might have already readjusted with the assumption that it does not need to produce milk. So, even if the baby sucks, the milk production is not likely to be high. But gradually the production should improve. You might take Manila granules or Lactonic granules one XXXXXXX in a glass of milk twice daily hoping for increase in the amount of milk produced but the sucking of the baby is the main trigger needed.
Hope that helps.
Regards
