Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes, you can increase the dose, provided the local causes for reduced milk output are ruled out.
Rule out cracked nipple, nipple retraction, painful lesion of the nipple to know whether it is the cause.
Drink plenty of oral fluids, 2 glasses of cow milk a day and high fiber diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T Shobha Deepak
