Default less milk for breastfeeding any solution

WE HAVE PREMATURE BABY BOY DELIVERED IN 35 WEEK AND NOW HE IS ONE
MONTHS OLD. HE WAS KEPT IN INCUBATOR FOR TEN DAYS.

MY WIFE COMPLAINTS THE BABY IS GETTING LESS WHILE BREASTFEEDING.

ARE U HAVING ANY TIPS TO INCREASE MILK FOR BREASTFEEDING.


It will be easier to read if you type in lower case letters, like this. Why
does your wife think your son is not getting enough milk? We're going to
need more information, like how often he's feeding, for how long, how many
wet nappies he has in a day, whether she's supplementing with formula,
taking any medications, whether your midwife or lactation consultant has
checked his latch, whether he has any other health problems aside from or in
relation to being premature, whether he was breastfed while in the incubator
and if not whether your wife expressed her milk during that time if not.
It's a bit hard to determine from that what the problem is, or even if there
is one at all. A lot of mothers doubt their supply unnecessarily and begin
supplementing, which is one of the biggest causes of breastfeeding failure.
