Stay hydrated: Unfortunately some woman just can not produce enough milk. Ways to increase production include: staying well hydrated and eating enough calories (you need extra 500cal a day for milk production. . . so around 2500-3000cal per day). Eat foods with whole grains (like oatmeal, whole grain bread), include flax seed in your diet, There are some meds that can work also but you need a prescription
