Hello dear
Understand your concern
Low breast milk supply in you case most likely due to mastitis and hormonal imbalance. I prescribed antibiotic like cefalaxine antibiotic and warm pad application of better cure. Consult the gynaecologist for proper treatment and advice.
I can give following advice to increase breast milk production:
Proper and effective attachment of the baby to Breast and offers both breast equally.

Brest feed should be given every 2 hourly because suckling reflex induce the breast milk production.
Take High protein diet, jeera, wheat, garlic and fruits like papaya
Drink 2-3 litre of water daily.
Take atleast 2-3 glass of water daily.
Natural remedies: drum stick leave/juice

If above advice will not work then I will prescribed following medication:
Capsule lactare for two week
Granule galact with milk.

Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
