You can try to include Garlic too in your diet.

Check this one:

There is breast feeding sub-forum in parenting section. You can try there too.
All the best.

Hi dear,
I too had less breast milk for first few days,but after a month or so, milk secretion increased as child's need increases.So don't lose hope.Have healthy diet and make the baby suckle.

Drink lot of milk. And eat shallow fried garlic. It is best for increased milk supply

Try to breast feed regularly with some time gap. Attempting to breast feed itself will stimulate breast milk. Create proper demand and supply. Don't doubt the supply, trust your body. Stress reduces the quantity.
Breast pump wont tell you the real amount your body could segregate. I don't produce enough with the few trails of pump. But my baby used to be OK during direct feeding. I never tried pumps after that.

Try to include garlic in diet. That might help too. Drink lots of water.
All the best.
