How to build up supply? Pls help

Question

Hello and help 😭
I have an almost 3 week old who has lost weight because she’s not getting enough milk from me. 
How do I build up my supply? I’ve tried pumping every two hours and/or after each feed. But I get literal drops. I’m lucky if I pump 1oz total for the WHOLE DAY. 
The main issues I’m having with most suggestions are;
1. I can’t have caffeine
2. I can only have up to 60g of fat a day due to gallbladder issues
What can I do? Doctor said otherwise she looks great! 
Help 😭😭

Answer

Increasing your water intake and calories! Doesnt have to be from fats. Also i heard oatmeal helps but im unsure if thats true or not. Worth a shot! 
As for making sure baby has enough, i did end up having to give my son formula along with my breastmilk just to make sure he was gaining.

Answer

Newborns are supposed to lose weight. What makes you think he isn’t getting enough?? Is he having enough wet diapers in a day and gaining on his own growth curve? 
Best thing to increase supply is having baby nurse as much as baby wants.

Answer

I haven't tried but I've heard the body armor drinks works wonders

Answer

I’d seek out a lactation consultant. They’d be able to check baby’s latch to ensure they’re nursing efficiently. Nurse frequently and offer both breasts at each feeding. Make sure you’re well hydrated as well. 
They’re some foods that supposedly increase supply like oats, but I can’t confirm if it actually works.
