My son is 9 months old. Uptil now he doesn't eat anything and is completely dependent on my milk. He takes milk 10-12 times a day and almost the entire night. By morning I feel exhaused and I am hardly left with any energy to do hosuehold chores. I feel my breastmilk production is also dimnishing and my breasts feel completey empty. What diet can I take to increase my milk production? Also please guide me is my milk enough for my baby?

Ma'am I delivered my baby via C-section in January. For first two weeks there was hardly any milk production, so I had to introduce formula milk. Now it's been close to 2 months, there is still negligible milk supply. Are there any chances I will be able to produce enough milk for my baby? If yes, will the baby completely switch over to breastmilk ever? Please suggest some ways to improve milk production. I do not want to feed him formula milk.
