Insufficient milk: Ask the hospital for a lactation specialist or google la leche. Make sure there is an excellent latch every feeding. Why not try to nurse your baby every 2 hours for one day and drink plenty of fluids. This may increase your milk production. If unsuccessful, you may supplement with a cow's milk formula after each feeding. Or pump your breast between nursing and offer it to baby after feeding.
