Frequent feedings: Putting the infant to breast is the fastest and most reliable way to make milk. Drink plenty of fluids and put infant to breast every 2-3 hrs.

Yes: Often something contributes to decrease in milk supply - stress, illness, lack of sleep - that is transient.  If your baby is young (less than 4 months) you are very likely to be able to increase your supply by resolving the stressor and by increasing expression of milk.  As baby gets older, substantial decreases in supply are harder to resolve.

Accepted Answer

Pump or nurse more: Breastmilk production is a supply and demand system.  If you are trying to increase your supply you need more demand- which means more frequent stimulation of the breast, so either pump or nurse more.
